In any industrial processes involving reservoirs, silos, or storage tanks, it is essential to know the level of the stored substances, or at the very least, to be able to detect critical levels (such as a full or empty tank). This is the purpose of level sensors and detectors. Despite the fact that these two terms may appear to be synonymous, the two devices are fundamentally distinct: a detector indicates when the level has reached a specific height, whereas a sensor provides a continuous measurement of the level's height. As a result, detectors are utilized to manage alerts or level setpoints. A variety of measurement technologies are available for sensors, and selecting the most suitable technology for the intended application is of great importance.

To select the technology that best fits your process, it is crucial to understand the nature of the product to be measured. Is it a liquid, paste, or loose solid? If it is a liquid, does its surface have foam? Level measurement technologies can be categorized into two groups: contact and non-contact. Non-contact technologies are more suitable for extreme environments or applications involving aggressive products. Additionally, non-contact level measurement offers the benefit of eliminating the risk of product contamination.

Like any sensor, the measuring range is of great significance, and careful consideration must be given to the sensor's position relative to the product. For instance, if a sensor is installed at the top of a silo and there is a 1-meter vertical gap between the sensor and the maximum height the product can reach in the silo, this 1-meter distance must be factored in when assessing the level range to be measured.It is essential to choose a level sensor that can withstand the pressure and temperature of the process conditions and features an output signal compatible with the measuring system—whether analog or digital output, with or without a display, relay output, and so on.

In the context of level measurement using guided wave radar, microwave pulses are transmitted along a cable or rod probe and reflected by the surface of the product. The measuring probe of the TDR sensor guarantees that the signal reaches the medium without disruption. This measurement technique is commonly applied to measure liquids, bulk solids, and separation layers within liquids.

The TDR sensors measure reliably despite:
-steam
-pressure and temperature fluctuations
-dust and noise
-buildup and condensation

Consistent product quality, plant safety, and economic efficiency are key aspects for any level measuring point.
Levels of liquids, pastes, bulk solids, or liquefied gases are frequently measured in tanks, silos, or movable containers. A wide range of measuring principles is available for continuous measurement, interface measurement, density measurement, as well as point level detection. Endress+Hauser provides support from the planning stage through commissioning and maintenance of your measuring point.

Exceptional ease of use is achieved through simple setup and operation with guided wizards.
Process and product safety are enhanced by configuration integrity – a checksum algorithm (CRC) ensures that safety - relevant parameters remain unaltered.
Productivity is boosted by traceable and documented on - demand verification, which includes checking the radar's accuracy without interrupting the process, all made possible by Heartbeat Technology.
Documented compliance is ensured via certified hygienic design, as well as proven material conformity and traceability.
There is flexibility in terms of scale – installation in confined spaces is feasible due to the compact sensor design and small process connections, and it can also be used in large tanks and silos.
