Guided Wave Radar Level Measurement & Echo Curve 📊

In this video I will be discussing guided wave radar level measurement or GWRs as they are often referred to in industry. I will introduce what a guided wave radar and how they are used to calculate the readings of both bulk and interface level.

We will look at how they are mounted to vessels and go through some of the basic setup items including advantages and disadvantages over other level measurement instrumentation in industry.

I'll then talk about Echo curves and how these can be interpreted in order to solve issues with the setup including Dielectric constant selection, incorrect threshold values and how to set the UZN (Upper Null Zone)
