Abstract
A level meter employs the radar concept for measuring the fill level of a medium in a container and incorporates an electric conductor system for conducting an electromagnetic signal into the container and returning reflected components of the electromagnetic signal from the container. Here, the electric conductor assembly is integrated into a wall of the container. The result is a universally employable electric conductor assembly so configured as to be unobstructed by built-in structures in the container such as agitators, intake pipe fittings or discharge connectors.
Claims4
A level meter employing the radar principle for measuring the fill level of a medium in a container including a metal wall and incorporating an electric conductor assembly for conducting an electromagnetic signal into the container and returning reflected components of the electromagnetic signal from the container and an electrical insulation between the electric conductor assembly and the medium, wherein the electric conductor assembly is integrated into said metal wall of the container, and the metal wall is internally lined with an electrically insulating layer constituting said electrical insulation.
