💡 Radar vs. ultrasonic - what are the differences between the two measuring principles? | VEGA talk

Radar and ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact level measurement - but how do the two measuring principles work and what are their differences? In this episode, Stefan and Tom show how environmental influences affect the reliability of measurement.

Which sensor can be used in Foundry Line to measure the distance?

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

Hello, thanks for your question - could you describe the application more in detail or contact us directly? Please find an overview of our subsidiaries here: www.vega.com/en/company/vega-worldwide

What system would you recommend to keep track of diesel storage tank level with interface ready for remote monitoring

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

Thanks for your question! Guided wave radar would probably be appropriate for your application. A "remote" solution could be made possible with a PLICSCOM with Bluetooth: www.vega.com/en-de/products/product-catalog/signal-conditioning/indicating-instruments/plicscom

Hello, what type of sensor would you recommend for detecting changes in oil level inside a distribution transformer

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

Hello, Thanks for your question. There is no general answer to this question. Depending on the vessel geometry, a VEGAPULS free-radiating radar can work here. In very cramped conditions, a guided microwave (VEGAFLEX with coax) is the right measuring instrument. If you require application-specific advice, please contact one of our subsidiaries in your area.

[@torivicz]

helloo what do you think is better for locating object? We’re trying to build a tracker w the use of the ultrasonic sensor, do u think it can be used to locate one subject only?

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

Hello, Thanks for your question. Object monitoring is also possible with radar, but you have to watch the speed of the update rate. If your target moves too fast, the output signal cannot follow the change of distance so fast. Our radar sensors have an update rate of typically 2 - 4 measurements per second.

[@torivicz]

ohh i get it, thanks !! Also, do u think it will be possible to use radar with the ultrasonic sensor?

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

​@@torivicz Radar and ultrasonic measurement are two different types of measuring principles with different sensors. Our answer refers to the radar measuring principle only.

[@torivicz]

@@VEGA_Level_Pressure oh okay. if we would use radar for monitoring one object only, do we have to use another apparatus to create the tracker or we can continue w the radar along w an arduino?

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

@@torivicz The sensor is providing a 4 … 20 mA signal which is related to the level or distance. If your Arduino provides an analogue input, it is possible to use our sensor.

[@arifwibowo9267]

Mean for gas application use radar will be better, so ultrasonic still ok for liquid application? Is it correct?

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

Hello Arif, Thanks for your question. In our experience 80 GHz radar technology provides reliable measurement results under all conditions: radar sensors are unaffected by temperature fluctuations, vacuum or high pressures and are insensitive to contamination. This makes it easier to separate measurement and interference signals - the measurement is much easier and more accurate.

Will Radar work with para amino phenol slurry or not.. we have vega 36 plus & we are facing issue with it.. there also a foam in measuring materail.

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

Thanks for your question. A radar sensor should work in such an application, but of course it always depends on the application conditions. The radar signal is less influenced by foam in comparison to ultrasonic, but also the radar signals are damped by the foam. If there really is a lot of foam also the radar technology will reach its limits. Is it possible to find a mounting position with less foam? If not, please contact our colleges on site: www.vega.com/en/company/vega-worldwide

Which type of transmitter used in lime tank (with foaming)

[@VEGA_Level_Pressure]

We would suggest a VEGAPULS 64 with a large antenna, e.g. with a plastic antenna. Please get in touch with a VEGA contact person in your region for more detailed information about your application.
