Enhanced Measurement Precision with GWR Magnetrol

GWR Magnetrol technology utilizes advanced radar techniques combined with guided wave technology to provide highly accurate and reliable liquid level measurements. This system offers several advantages over traditional level measurement technologies, such as float switches, capacitance, and ultrasonic devices. By implementing GWR Magnetrol, industries can benefit from enhanced measurement precision and improved operational efficiency.

Principle of Operation

At the heart of GWR Magnetrol technology is the principle of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). Guided wave radar measures the time of flight between when a pulse of electromagnetic energy is transmitted down a probe, and the reflection of that pulse is seen returning from the liquid surface. The time of flight measurement provides an accurate indication of the liquid level. The guided wave technique ensures that the radar signals are confined and guided along a probe, enhancing accuracy and reliability even in challenging process conditions, such as high temperatures, high pressures, and turbulent environments.

GWR Magnetrol technology offers various probe options that can be selected based on the specific application requirements. Flexible and rigid probes are designed to suit different process conditions, allowing the measurement of liquid levels in various types of tanks and vessels, including those with narrow nozzles, turbulent surfaces, or excessive foam or vapor.
