Vega PULS 44 PS44.CADXXARCAKX Level Radar Sensor

The VEGA VEGAPULS 44 (PS44.CADXXARCAKX) is a non-contact radar level transmitter designed for continuous level measurement of liquids in tanks, vessels, reservoirs, and process applications. Using 26 GHz radar technology, the sensor accurately measures product level regardless of temperature, pressure, vapours, or changing process conditions. The VEGAPULS 44 is particularly suited to chemical, petrochemical, water treatment, and industrial storage applications where reliable, maintenance-free level monitoring is required.

Function

The VEGAPULS 44 transmits low-power microwave radar pulses toward the product surface and measures the return echo to calculate level. Because the measurement is completely non-contact, the sensor is unaffected by product density changes, conductivity, pressure fluctuations, vapours, or temperature variations. This provides highly reliable level monitoring with minimal maintenance requirements.

Typical Applications

• Chemical storage tanks
• Process vessels
• Petrochemical plants
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Bulk liquid storage
• Reservoir monitoring
• Industrial process control
• Hazardous area level measurement
• Utility and production systems
