Radar
Level Sensors
Madison
Company offers a series of low-cost radar sensors
for continuous level measurement.
This product series offers a logical extension
to the ultrasonic sensor
series, where application conditions are
in need of non-contact liquid level measurement,
and where ultrasonic level measurement is not
acceptable.
As
with all Madison products, this radar technology
can be designed for your specific level measurement
needs, providing unique considerations for
materials to be measured, vessel configuration
and system interface.
These
radar level sensors are ideal for reflective
liquids that have a foaming surface
or vapor conditions beyond ultrasonic wave capabilities.
Sanitary food-grade
level sensors are also available.
