Guided Wave Radar and Ultrasonic Level Transmitters
Cross Company Guided Wave Radar and Ultrasonic Level Transmitters
Guided wave radar level transmitters and ultrasonic level transmitters both provide continuous level indication. Cross Company is proud to be a partner with Nivelco and their range of level transmitters.
Enhancing Process Efficiency and Accuracy
Guided wave radar (GWR) and ultrasonic level transmitters have become indispensable tools to many in the process industry. Though both offer accurate and reliable level measurements, they excel in different applications. This makes them valuable assets in various industrial processes.
GWR level transmitters are able to provide precise and consistent level measurements in challenging process conditions. They are able to withstand factors like temperature, pressure, vapor, or foam, ensuring reliable readings in diverse applications. They can also be used to measure a variety of liquids, including oil and gas, chemical, water treatment applications, and pharmaceuticals. GWR level transmitters offer non-contact level measurement, eliminating the need for direct contact with the process material. This feature ensures hygienic and safe operations, making them ideal for applications where cleanliness is critical.
Ultrasonic level transmitters are a non-intrusive level measurement device, relying on sound waves to measure the level of the process material. This is ideal for applications where direct contact is undesirable. Ultrasonic level transmitters can be used in a wide range of industries and applications, including water and wastewater treatment, tank level monitoring, and bulk material handling.

Guided Wave Radar
Guided wave radar level transmitters are designed for continuous level measurement of conductive or non-conductive liquids, pulps and solids. Micropulses are sent along a probe guide at the speed of light. As soon as the pulse reaches the surface of the medium, it is reflected back to the electronic module. Level distance is directly proportional to the flight time of the pulse.
The technology (called Time Domain Reflectometry) is unaffected by the properties of the medium or the space above it. It is also not affected by any physical changes in the medium, like temperature and pressure.
Industries where guided wave radar level transmitters are used include
- Food and beverage production
- Water and wastewater
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Pharmaceutical
- Plastics
- Metallurgy
Ultrasonic Level Transmitters
Ultrasonic level transmitters can be used to provide continuous, non-contact level measurement for liquids and solids. They measure the time required for ultrasound pulses to cover the distance from the sensor to the level to be measured and back. The echoes bounce back from the surface of the medium and reach the sensor surface after the time of flight of the ultrasonic impulse. The time of flight of the reflected signal is measured, processed and converted to distance, level, volume or flow proportional data.
Ultrasonic liquid level transmitters can be used with any water-based medium, as well as hydrocarbons, acids and aggressive liquids. Ultrasonics for solid level measurement can be used for a wide range of solids from light powders to coarse bulk materials.
Industries where ultrasonic level transmitters are used include:
- Food and beverage production
- Water and wastewater
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Pharmaceutical
- Plastics
- Energy production
