The important benefits provided by GWR (guided wave radar) level measurement technology have reportedly been extended to an even wider range of applications,thanks to the addition of single rigid rod and single flexible probe options to the Eclipse range of GWR level transmitters.

According to Magnetrol International, the Eclipse 708 model provides a single rigid rod probe option which means effective guided wave level measurement is possible on tough applications where coating media and viscous liquids are present. The 708 model can also be supplied with a flexible probe option from one metre up to 15 metres, so it can be utilised in numerous applications where longer lengths and/or minimal headroom is a problem (Plate 8).

The Eclipse guided wave radar level measurement principle is said to provide accurate level measurement, regardless of the presence of process variables,which render other level measurement technologies ineffective. These are:changes in specific gravity, dielectric, conductivity, vapours and foam. Furthermore, with Eclipse no level movement is thought necessary for configuration or set-up.

Other features and benefits claimed include, no moving parts, virtually maintenance-free and CENELEC, Exd, Exi safety approvals.

The addition of these new probes further extends the Eclipse range which already includes options for applications which involve high temperatures/high pressures (135 bar @ 400°C, 345 bar @ 20°C) along with a special propane version for level measurement of aromatic hydrocarbons, propylene,butadiene or other media with dielectric values as low as 1.4.
