Along with the recent additions of SIL2, high temperature and high pressure designs the Centurion Guided Radar is a versatile and reliable continuous level measurement instrument that Hawk believes will be a pillar of its continuing growth and disruption to the world wide level measurement market.
Principle of operation
Guided-wave technology sends the radar pulse down a probe to measure either liquids, solids or a low dielectric to high dielectric Interface level. The pulse hits the surface and / or Interface and is reflected back up the probe to the sensor, where the transit time is translated into a distance using time of fight and time expansion. The amplitude of the reflection depends on the dielectric constant of the product.
