US-based Emerson Process Management, which has offices throughout Europe, has released a version of its Rosemount 5400 series of non-contacting radar level transmitters aimed specifically at demanding bulk solids level measurement applications. The 5402 high frequency 2-wire radar uses Rosemount Radar Master software and unique algorithms to overcome the specific challenges of solids level measurement in vessels, bins and silos, such as sloping surfaces, low dielectric properties and high filling rates. 

Inclined surfaces deflect energy away from the radar and can generate several small reflections. The Rosemount 5402 overcomes this by a new signal processing algorithm that has been developed to address this specific problem. For applications involving dry solids with low dielectric properties that create very low reflections and thereby can result in an unstable level measurement, sensitivity is increased, noise cancelled out and echo strength increased. The measurement difficulties caused by high filling rates are met by increased sensitivity and echo traceability. www.Rosemount.com/level
