Application Description of Radar Level Gauge in Oil and Natural Gas

Shanghai Hongyi radar level gaugeAs a non-contact, high-precision liquid level measuring instrument, Radar Level Transmitter is widely used in multiple industrial fields due to its strong anti-interference ability, adaptability to complex working conditions, and low maintenance requirements. The following is an analysis of its application scenarios in oil and gas:

1. Crude oil and finished oil storage tanks

Application Scenario:

Continuous monitoring of liquid level in large floating roof tanks and dome roof tanks (with a range of up to 50m).

Trade handover measurement (compliant with API 3.1B standard, accuracy ± 1mm).

Technical advantages:

Not affected by changes in oil density and temperature, no need for repeated calibration.

High frequency radar (26GHz/80GHz) can penetrate oil mist and resist steam interference.

2. LNG/LPG storage tank

Low temperature adaptation:

-196 ℃ liquid nitrogen/LNG liquid level measurement, using vacuum sealed antenna to prevent frosting.

Explosion proof design (ATEX/IECEx), suitable for flammable environments.

3. Offshore platforms and pipelines

Challenge: Salt spray, high humidity, and shaking environment.

Solution:

316L stainless steel shell+IP68 protection, with ship sway compensation algorithm.
