High Temperature High Pressure Radar Level Meter: Precision Measurement for Extreme Environments

SLDL5228 high temperature high pressure radar level meter, 26GHz 80m range radar level transmitter for extreme industrial conditions

Our high temperature high pressure radar level meter (Model SLDL5228) is a 26GHz non-contact level measurement solution engineered to deliver uncompromising accuracy and reliability in the harshest industrial environments. This high temperature high pressure radar level meter is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive conditions, making it the ideal choice for demanding applications across oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation.

Working Principle of the High Temperature High Pressure Radar Level Meter

The high temperature high pressure radar level meter emits 26GHz microwave pulses that travel at the speed of light toward the surface of the measured medium. A portion of the pulse energy is reflected back to the instrument’s antenna, and the time-of-flight between transmission and reception is used to calculate the exact distance to the medium surface, delivering precise, real-time level data. This non-contact technology ensures the high temperature high pressure radar level meter operates reliably without direct contact with the process medium, eliminating wear and contamination risks.

• Power generation and steel manufacturing

Installation Guidelines for the High Temperature High Pressure Radar Level Meter

For optimal performance of the high temperature high pressure radar level meter, follow these key installation rules:

1.Install the high temperature high pressure radar level meter at least 200mm away from the vessel wall to avoid interference.

2. Ensure the antenna is installed perpendicular to the medium surface to maintain maximum measuring range.

3. For conical vessels, install the high temperature high pressure radar level meter at the center of the tank roof to ensure full-range measurement to the vessel bottom.

4. When installing in a short nozzle, ensure the antenna extends at least 10mm beyond the nozzle end to avoid false echoes.
