Microwave measuring instruments
Measuring of water contend, density, concentration and total solids
Measurement principle: |
In the microwave measurement an electromagnetic wave with low energy is generated and via an antenna integrated into the product. This wave spreads out in the product in dependence of the electrical characteristics. A second antenna receives this wave. Energy and phase of the received wave are indicators for the water content, the material concentration and density in the product. MW-measurements are qualified because of high stability and a very short feedback time. Measurements at conveyer belts or nonconductive tanks are operating without direct contact and can be mounted outside of the process equipment. In case of metallic tanks the sensors are inserted together with a flange in the wall. |
