High pressures/temperatures reduce the propagation velocity of the measuring signals in the gas/vapour above the liquid interface to be measured. The result of the high pressure/temperature is a systematic measuring error.

Guided Wave Radar Level Sensor

Table gives several measuring errors for different gases/vapours.

Guided Wave Radar Level Sensor Pressure and Temperature Effects

Table – Example of measuring error on wave radar with high pressure/temperature

These errors may be compensated with two main methods:

  • compensation with external pressure and temperature sensors
  • compensation with a reference signal.

Compensation with external pressure and temperature sensor is achieved by calculation with external pressure and temperature sensors.

Compensation with a reference signal means that the actual wave velocity is measured by calculating a reference reflection between two known points a known distance (Lref) and relevant transit time.

Lref = Actual Velocity × Transit time of this Lref.

Having this Actual Velocity in the media, the distance can be calculated from the actual reflection time measurement. The Lref should be upper the higher maximum interface level with a margin (e.g. 150 mm in Figure).
