Sounding Tube Radars
To extend the duration of stay at sea, every cubic inch of space on Navy and research vessels is exploited. Existing cavities or inaccessible places on the ship are used as additional tanks for drinking water, diesel or aviation fuel. The tank shape and dimensions are completely different from familiar standard tanks and, depending on the type of ship and size, can extend over several decks. The tank content can be anywhere from one to one hundred tons.
Level Measurement with VEGAPULS 63
A sounding pipe provided by the shipyard is sufficient for a reliable and precise level measurement in the tank. The non-contact radar measurement with the VEGAPULS 63 is the ideal solution, regardless of tank form or product. The sounding tube acts as a waveguide for the microwave pulses, which are unaffected by vessel installations and throats. Due to the high operating frequency, a tube diameter of 40 mm is sufficient.
Special Solutions with the VEGAPULS 66
The VEGAPULS 66 radar sensor is used for special applications on ships in the US Navy. Existing hand sounding tubes are used for measuring the levels. The radar sensor couples its signal directly into the sounding pipe and makes the classic radar antenna unnecessary. The VEGAPULS 66 Swivel and Sound Radar can be swiveled from the sounding pipe by means of a special holder if a manual sounding is necessary. |
