Solid-matched slurry material storage tanks are usually used to store granular materials such as cement, slag, coal ash, etc. and have some unique characteristics. Radar level meter has a wide range of applications in measuring the level of solid slurry material storage tanks, which can achieve accurate and reliable measurement. The following will introduce the characteristics of solid matching slurry material storage tanks, and combined with two actual measurement cases to illustrate the application of radar level meter.

Solid-matched slurry material storage tanks are usually characterised by large capacity, high height and large diameter. As the material in the tank is granular, it has a certain particle size and compressibility. Moreover, due to the large weight of the material, it is easy to cause measurement errors. In addition, in solid-matched slurry material storage tanks, the material will agglomerate or accumulate over time, resulting in a non-uniform distribution of the material level. Therefore, for this material with special properties, a highly accurate and reliable measurement method is needed to ensure the accurate positioning of the tank level.

Practical example 1: In a concrete mixing plant, the level measurement of the slurry material storage tanks is very important. The traditional manual measurement method is not only inefficient, but also susceptible to environmental and human factors. By installing a radar level meter, the level measurement can be automated. Radar level meter has height adjustable antenna, can be adjusted according to the height of the tank, to ensure the accuracy of measurement. Moreover, the radar level meter has anti-interference performance, which can avoid the influence of cement dust and other environmental substances on the measurement results. Case 2: In a thermal power plant, the level measurement of coal ash storage tanks is also very important. Coal ash is a solid waste from a thermal power plant, with a certain particle size and fluidity. Conventional level meters cannot meet the requirement of accurate positioning of the coal ash level. By installing radar level meter, real-time monitoring of coal ash storage tank level can be achieved. Radar level meter has the characteristics of fast response, can accurately measure the height of dynamic changes in the material level. And radar level meter has good anti-condensation performance, can cope with the coal ash in the storage tank caking situation.

Radar level meter has unique advantages in measuring the level of solid matching slurry material storage tanks, which can adapt to changes in temperature, pressure, humidity and other environmental conditions in the tank to achieve accurate and reliable measurement. At the same time, the radar level meter has simple installation and maintenance, which greatly improves the work efficiency. Therefore, radar level meter is undoubtedly an ideal choice in the application of level measurement of solid-matched slurry material storage tanks.
