Despite the inherent performance advantages of radar over ultrasonic level gauges, radar’s higher cost has long stratified the non-contact application space. Radar gauges were more accurate, more resistant to interferences and immune to ambient changes in pressure and temperature--but they cost more as well. That is, until now.
With the launch of VEGAPULS line of radar gauges, VEGA has packed all the functionality of its 80 GHz technology onto a new microchip no bigger than a mobile phone SIM card, explained Scott Rollman, VEGA director of sales in the U.S., on the occasion of the new instruments’ introduction to the U.S. market in February.
