Ultrasonic level meter and radar level meter in the application scene there are some obvious differences.

The application scenarios of ultrasonic level meter are mainly focused on the occasions where the level of liquid medium needs to be measured.

In the petroleum industry, ultrasonic level meter is widely used in oil tanks, oil wells, oil-water separators and other equipment, used to measure the level of various liquid media height, density and temperature and other parameters.

The chemical industry is the use of ultrasonic level meter to measure a variety of reaction kettles, tanks, towers and other equipment in the liquid medium parameters.

In addition, the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry also often use ultrasonic level meter to monitor the liquid food and medicine level height and density.


The application scenario of radar level meter is more extensive.

It plays an important role in the level monitoring of storage tanks, reactors, tanks and other equipment in the petrochemical industry.

As the radar level meter has the characteristics of high precision and long-distance measurement, it can also be applied to the level measurement of blast furnace, converter and other equipments in the iron and steel industry, as well as the level measurement of storage tanks, sedimentation tanks and other equipments in the sewage treatment industry.

In addition, the power industry in the thermal power plant, nuclear power plant and other power production equipment also need to use the radar level meter for real-time monitoring of the liquid level of liquid storage tanks.

In summary, ultrasonic level meter is more suitable for liquid media level measurement, especially in the petroleum, chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries have a wide range of applications; while the radar level meter has a wider range of applications, can be applied to a variety of industries in the level monitoring needs, especially in the need for high-precision and long-distance measurement of the occasions in the outstanding performance.

When choosing a level meter, you need to choose the right type according to the specific application scenarios and needs.
