A high dielectric constant of the media provides better reflection and enables a longer measuring range. In addition to the dielectric constant, the measuring range depends on the microwave frequency, antenna size, and the process conditions (see “Measuring range”...

  • Page 17: Tank Shape

    Application examples The Rosemount 5408 and 5408:SIS are ideal for level measurements on a broad range of liquids and slurries. The transmitter is virtually unaffected by changing density, temperature, pressure, media dielectric, pH, and viscosity. Non-contacting radar level is ideal for harsh conditions such as corrosive and sticky media, or when internal tank obstructions are a limiting factor.
  • Page 18 Still pipe and chamber installations The Rosemount 5408 is an excellent choice for level measurement in tanks with still pipes. It may also be used in chambers, but guided wave radar is generally the best fit for these applications.

  • Page 22: Review Mounting Considerations

    PRELIMINARY Mechanical Installation Reference Manual November 2016 00809-0100-4408, Rev AA Review mounting considerations Before installing the transmitter, consider recommendations for mounting position, sufficient free space, nozzle requirements, etc. 3.2.1 Mounting position When finding an appropriate location on the tank for the transmitter, the conditions of the tank must be carefully considered.

  • Page 23: Antenna Size

    PRELIMINARY Reference Manual Mechanical Installation 00809-0100-4408, Rev AA November 2016 3.2.2 Antenna size Choose as large antenna diameter as possible. A larger receiving area concentrates the radar beam and ensures maximum antenna gain. Increased antenna gain permits greater margin for weak surface echoes. In addition, a larger antenna results in a smaller beam angle and thereby, less interference from any internal structures in the tank.

  • Page 24: Beam Width And Beam Angle

    PRELIMINARY Mechanical Installation Reference Manual November 2016 00809-0100-4408, Rev AA 3.2.5 Beam width and beam angle The transmitter should be mounted with as few internal structures as possible within the signal beam. Refer to Table 3-1 for beam angle and Table 3-2 for beam width at different distances.
