VersaLevel radar level instruments

Honeywell has introduced a family of microwave radar level instruments for use in plant storage tanks. The VersaLevel line is manufactured to Honeywell’s standards and specifications by German-based Krohne.

The VersaLevel product family includes a full line of guided-wave and free-space radar level devices. Both types of devices are suitable for a wide range of industries, including chemical, minerals and mining, oil and gas, petrochemicals and pulp and paper.

The guided-radar level transmitter uses sharp electromagnetic pulses to measure distances and levels for liquids, pastes, granulates, powders and liquid interfaces. The device has higher signal dynamics and a sharper pulse than conventional guided-wave devices, which results in better accuracy. It also features a user-friendly and easily accessible touch screen, which displays in nine languages.

The free-space radar transmitter is suitable for applications that require non-contact measurement in difficult process conditions, such as tanks with agitators. The device features triple barrier gas-tight protection for applications that involve dangerous gases. In addition, the free-space radar device can measure up to 80 m and operates up to a flange temperature of 200°C.
