Agitated Asphalt Tank Level gauge
Agitated Asphalt Tank Level gauge
(OP)
Anyone have experience with level gauges used in agitated tanks of asphalt up to 400F? looking for alternatives to load cells(expensive plumbing)and full depth RF capacitance antenna types(not good for taller tanks). need to sense level within 1-3". need dependable 4-20 output for plc to control various tasks during fill and empty

I have been looking for a similar sensor for tank level sensors for epoxy machines (large tanks) and for melted material. I have been told that radar or RF is the way to go. Have you found any suppliers of the radar gauges? Care to tell me who? What about the RF, who would you recommend for those types(are tanks are about 10 feet tall, temp is up to 500F)?

Do you have any details on the example you refer to?
Tank size, dia? ht? temp? quiet surface? agitation? mild? violent? distance from side wall?
We design mixing systems consisting of 1000-4000 gal vessels for asphalt modification. The agitation is quite severe. lots of splashing. We have had success with the load cell mtd tanks but as you can imagine it complicates everything else. Any experience with radar in mixing?
