Radar Level Transmitter Monitors Tough Applications

Radar technology is preferred by many in the process industry for its reliability and accuracy, but the high cost of a radar level transmitter is often prohibitive. Ultrasonic technology is a lower-cost level control device and frequently used instead of radar, but its inconsistency in more difficult applications can lead to false readings.


The Kaidi uses pulse burst technology to measure liquid level and volume in enclosed vessels. Short bursts of 26 GHz microwave energy are emitted and reflected off the level surface. This technology combines with advanced signal processing to manage common disturbances, such as false echoes caused by obstructions, multi-path reflections from tank sidewalls and turbulence caused by agitators, aggressive chemicals or aerators. Reducing the impact of these disturbances leads to a more accurate and reliable reading.


Difficult atmospheric conditions create a level measurement challenge for process engineers, since disturbances from the environment can result in an inaccurate measurement reading. Ultrasonic technology frequently is unable to deal with these measurement challenges. The R82 magnetrol radar level transmitters are virtually unaffected by mist, fog, condensation, turbulence and most foams.


The R82 guided wave radar transmitter can replace ultrasonic units in many applications that cause difficulty for that measurement technology:


Water and wastewater tanks and sumps

Liquids, slurries and viscous media

General chemical storage

Day, batch and feed tanks

Food and beverage vessels

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
