Our company’s 26GHz high frequency radar level gauge has been successfully applied to the level measurement of gasoline and diesel in petrochemical plants
Radar level gauge for measuring gasoline and diesel in petrochemical plants
Due to the low dielectric constant of gasoline and diesel, if the low-frequency (6.8GHz) radar level gauge is used for measurement, the measurement may be inaccurate because the signal is too weak.
It is generally required to install guided wave pipe, Used to measure oil tanks less than 5-10m in height.
There are more manufacturing requirements for guided wave pipe, so the cost is higher.
Therefore, it is recommended to use the high-frequency (26GHz) radar level gauge.
The high-frequency radar level gauge does not require a wave guide pipe to directly measure the level of gasoline and diesel.
For some taller storage tanks, due to the high cost of manufacturing and installation of wave guide pipe, and many long wave guide pipe may cause certain deformations,
that affect the measurement effect and accuracy of the radar level gauge.
Therefore, the cost of choosing the high-frequency radar level gauge for measuring the large range of gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, and kerosene storage tanks (tank height more than 7-10 meters) will be more economical and applicable than low-frequency radar level gauge.
