Industry Insights

Review a level installation with eight evidence checks, reference comparisons and a qualified screening score. Prioritise findings without automatic replacement.

Plan a radar retrofit from the connection survey through safe isolation, cable checks, configuration and measured acceptance on the existing tank.

Check radar explosion-protection certificates against the site classification, exact model, circuit and destination requirements. Keep SIL assessment separate.

Choose radar level outputs for the actual PLC or DCS. Check current loops, HART, Modbus, fieldbus, Ethernet-APL, diagnostics and fault response.

Understand radar level accuracy, reference conditions, uncertainty budgets and field comparisons. Separate measurement errors from installation faults.

Compare radar level transmitter quotations by configuration, compliance and supply scope. Build an installed and lifecycle cost comparison from site data.

A 14-field radar level RFQ checklist covering medium, nozzle, process limits, operating range, output, approvals and acceptance evidence.

Compare radar horns, lenses, encapsulated antennas and guided-wave probes by nozzle fit, materials, process ratings, coating and service requirements.

Compare 80 GHz and 26 GHz radar using actual beam patterns, usable range, nozzle geometry and process evidence, not universal frequency rules.
