OVERVIEW

What it does and why it is built this way

The LV-220 sends low-power radar pulses down a probe. The reflection at the liquid surface sets the level, and a second echo reveals an oil-water interface.

Because the signal follows the probe, it is unaffected by tank shape, angled walls or foam, which makes it a robust choice for separators and process vessels.

Level and interface in one probe

Works through foam, vapour and turbulence

  1. A radar pulse runs down a probe.
  2. Part of the pulse reflects where the dielectric changes, at the surface.
  3. Time of flight gives level, even through foam, vapour and turbulence.
