Transportable plastic tank:
•
Vessel:
– Material and thickness different
– Measurement through the vessel top
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Measured value jump with vessel change
•
Properties, sensor:
– Quick adaptation to changing reflection conditions due to ves-
sel change
– False signal suppression required
Open water (gauge measurement):
•
Rate of level change: slow level change
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Large distance from sensor to water surface
– Extreme damping of output signal due to wave generation
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insects build nests in the antennas
– Floating material and animals sporadically appear on water
surface
•
Properties, sensor:
– Stable and reliable measured values through frequent averag-
ing
– Insensitive in the close range
Open flume (flow measurement):
•
Rate of level change: slow level change
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insects build nests in the antennas
– Smooth water surface
– Exact measurement result required
– Distance to the water surface normally relatively large
•
Properties, sensor:
– Stable and reliable measured values through frequent averag-
ing
– Insensitive in the close range
Rain water overfall (weir):
•
Rate of level change: slow level change
•
Process/measurement conditions:
– Ice and condensation on the antenna possible
– Spiders and insects build nests in the antennas
– Turbulent water surface
– Sensor flooding possible
•
Properties, sensor:
– Stable and reliable measured values through frequent averag-
ing
– Insensitive in the close range
Demonstration:
•
Adjustment for all applications which are not typically level meas-
