Technologies for Interface Level Measurement by Dan Stigler & Jonathan Hermosillo
Interface level measurements can be some of the most challenging measurements to make in any process, partly because no two interfaces are identical. Fortunately, different technologies offer different approaches to finding a solution. This presentation will discuss capacitance, guided wave radar, and radiometric technologies. Attendees will learn how each technology works, when to use each one, and how to specify certain instrumentation. Industry application examples will be shown.
