BM 70 M
Annex A: Technical data
Application range
Distance, level, volume and reflection measurement of liquids,
pastes and slurries in storage tanks of metal, and also on still
wells
Mode of operation and
system structure
FMCW Radar in X-Band (8.5-9.9 GHz) with digital signal
Processing and quartz-controlled PLL frequency stabilisation;
Compact instrument, modular construction
Input
Measured quantity
Primary quantities: distance, reflection;
Derived quantities: level, volume
Measuring range
Min. distance: 0.5 m
Max. measuring range: 35 m (stillwell: 30 m)
Block distance
= antenna length + 10...20 cm
For high accuracy: 1 m
Rate of change in level
< 1 m/min
Behaviour when measuring
range exceeded
Measured value will stick at the block distance
