Guided wave radar (GWR) technology is based on the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) principle. Low power nanosecond‐pulses are guided along with a probe submerged in the process media.

GWR provides accurate and reliable interface measurements and can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is a top-down, direct measurement as it measures the distance to the product surface. GWR can be used with liquids, sludges, slurries, and some solids.

The Rosemount 5300 Level Transmitter is ideal for challenging measurements on liquids, slurries, and solids, offering state of the art reliability and safety features in level and interface applications. Rosemount 5300 offers several advantages such as easy installation, no need for calibration, and is unaffected by process conditions.

Rosemount™ guided wave radars are easy to install and virtually unaffected by process conditions. We have developed products using advanced radar technology since 1974, and our continuous improvement approach has resulted in radar transmitters that provide superior performance and reliability.

guided wave radar (gwr): Guided Wave Radar is a revolutionary method of liquid level measurement in which high-frequency electromagnetic waves are guided to travel from transmitter to the material to be measured.

Guided wave radar (GWR) based on time-domain-reflectometry technology is one of the fastest growing methods for level measurement at chemical plants. Its popularity has risen sharply over the last twenty or so years. GWR now is handling applications that previously have used technologies such as capacitance, hydrostatics or ultrasonics.

Guided wave radar (GWR) is also called time domain reflectometry (TDR) or micro-impulse radar (MIR). Basic principle. In a Guided Wave Radar installation, the GWR is mounted on the top of the tank or chamber, and the probe usually extends to the full depth of the vessel.

Guided wave radar technology is similar to through-air radar in terms of setup and operation. GWR devices are typically installed at the top of a tank with a probe (often called a waveguide) extending inside the tank and contacting the product inside.

Two of the most commonly used types of radar transmitters on the market today is Guided Wave Radar and Non-Contact (pulse) Radar. Guided Wave Radar (GWR) uses a probe to measure to guide high frequency, electromagnetic waves as they travel down from a transmitter to the media being measured.

Guided radar level measurement with top-down installation of a Levelflex sensor offers perfect application fit in all industries. Guided radar with simple commissioning, trouble-free operation saves time and money. For usage in a wide range of applications - be it in simple storage tanks, in corrosive or aggressive media or heavy duty applications.
