SUPCON radar level meters are designed for continuous, reliable level monitoring in industrial tanks, vessels, and silos where accuracy, safety, and long-term stability are critical.
A non-contact radar level meter is a level measurement instrument that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to continuously measure the level of liquids or solids without physical contact with the process medium. The radar antenna emits microwave signals toward the material surface and calculates the level based on the reflected signal return time or frequency shift.
Because radar measurement does not rely on sound waves or mechanical contact, it remains stable in challenging process conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, vapor, foam, dust, or turbulence.
SUPCON provides a focused radar level meter portfolio to meet different application and process requirements.
80GHz Radar Level Meter
Designed for applications requiring high precision and narrow beam angles, 80GHz radar is ideal for small tanks, complex internals, and installations with limited space. It delivers excellent resolution and strong resistance to interference.
26GHz Radar Level Meter
Suitable for general industrial level measurement, 26GHz radar offers stable performance for larger tanks and longer measuring distances, making it a reliable choice for liquid storage and process vessels.
Guided Wave Radar Level Meter
Guided wave radar uses a probe to guide electromagnetic waves along a fixed path, providing accurate measurement for liquids, interfaces, and applications with low dielectric constants or heavy vapor conditions.
SUPCON radar level meters are engineered to deliver consistent performance across demanding industrial environments.
Non-contact measurement ensures minimal maintenance and long service life
Reliable operation under high temperature, pressure, vapor, and dust conditions
Multiple frequency options to suit different tank sizes and process complexities
Stable accuracy for continuous level monitoring
Suitable for hazardous and safety-critical applications with global certifications
Easy integration with modern control systems via digital communication options
Radar level measurement provides high accuracy and excellent repeatability. Performance remains stable over time because the measurement is unaffected by changes in temperature, pressure, density, or vapor conditions.
Ultrasonic level measurement relies on sound waves and can be affected by temperature, vapor, foam, or turbulence. Radar level measurement uses electromagnetic waves, making it more reliable in harsh industrial environments and extreme process conditions.
Radar level measurement includes non-contact radar (such as 26GHz and 80GHz) and guided wave radar. Each type is suited to different applications based on tank geometry, measuring range, and process conditions.
Radar level measurement offers non-contact operation, high accuracy, strong resistance to process interference, and reliable performance in extreme environments, making it ideal for continuous industrial level monitoring.
