    Ultrasonic versus radarLevel and flow measurement in the water industry

    According to Endress+Hauser, radar measurement technology offers many possibilities,

    however, level measurement with ultrasonic remains the first choice in the water &wastewater industry.

    Information about level and flow are important parameters for optimal operation ofsewage and drainage systems and the resulting measurement reuirements of the water

    and wastewater industry can be met by means of different measuring principles. !or a

    large number of the level reuirements, ultrasonic technology has proven advantages and

    is considered a "standard#.

    Physical characteristics

    $ompared to ultrasonic, radar provides the physical advantage that the emitted

    microwave pulses are unaffected by air movement and temperature layers e%isting acrossthe test measuring section. his property can be advantageous in measurements under

    specific environmental conditions 'e.g. strong winds, rain, fog, solar radiation( in termsof measurement accuracy.

    )espite the physical advantage of the radar measurement technology, the uestion is

    whether the technology actually provides benefits in the daily operation of a wastewatertreatment plant*

    In practice, many typical applications such as wet wells, overflow basins and sewers arebuilt underground or covered. ind and sunlight does not interfere with the measurement

    here. ltrasound, however, can score with higher accuracy at close range, fle%ibleapplication, installation fle%ibility and minimum maintenance. !urthermore, e%perienceshows that even with flow measurements in open channels and weirs, the typical

    measurement accuracy of ultrasound measurement '- mm and /,012 of the measured

    distance( is sufficient.

    he accuracy of flow measurement is influenced primarily by design, construction and

    especially by the installation of the channel. In addition, for temperature3dependent

    applications 'e.g. in deep wells( an e%ternal temperature sensor can be used formeasurement correction.

    The water experts

    Endress+Hauser#s portfolio in the field of ultrasonic measurement t is tailored to the

    needs of customers in the wastewater industry, using state3of the3art technology that

    provides an optimal price4performance ratio. hen ultrasonic reaches its limits, thecompany is able to offer any other relevant level measurement technology such as free

    space radar, hydrostatic or capacitive.
