Temperature Measurement


Level radar operates up to 200°C

September 2005 Temperature Measurement

The maximum allowed temperature for the new Krohne level radar devices Optiwave and Optiflex has now been increased from 150°C to 200°C (measured at the flange). The higher temperature can be reached without a pressure derating.

Krohne offers the devices with a higher maximum temperature without raising the price. Extensive tests preceded the realisation of the customers' wishes; consequently the new generation of level radar devices from Krohne can be used in more applications than before.

Thanks to its 26 GHz - FMCW radar technology, very high dynamic performance and bandwidth - the instrument achieves high resolution, accuracy and maximum application reliability. The start-up procedure for Optiwave and Optiflex is simple using the quick set-up. The standard signal converter with large graphic display is operated by piezoelectric pushbuttons from outside the housing. Both devices have HART and are supplied together with PACTware and a non-cost DTM with full functionality including data recording and reproduction. OptiwavE and Optiflex both have a high standard accuracy of ±3 mm. The Krohne Optiflex can measure interfaces as thin as 50 mm. The integrated zero echo recording for the first metre has proved to be particularly helpful in practice.
