|

The Saab TankRadar Rex System can be used at bulk liquid storage tanks at refineries, independent tank terminals, marketing terminals, pipeline terminals, petrochemical industry, liquified gas terminals, and aviation fuel deposits. The extensive range of TankRadar Rex RTG 3900 Series level gauges fits all types of tanks, fixed or floating roofs, pressurized or non-pressurized. The Saab TankRadar Rex system measures the entire storage tank site. The system software can also make accurate measurement and calculation of liquid levels, temperature and water interface level, hydrostatic and vapour pressure, and observed density, and TOV, GOV, GSV and NSV. With a lean and clean installation, the Saab TankRadar Rex System offers also flexible field communication via many protocols eg, Profibus, Tiway, TRL/2. Intelligent gauge emulation compatible with all major tank gauging systems is also available.  |

TankRadar ® PRO is used for reliable level and volume measurement in refineries and tank terminals, where the demands on the accuracy of measurements are not so stringent.
The TankRadar Pro gauge is available in four versions for various requirements:
Lite
For non-hazardous area tanks without internal structures and agitators, such as storage tanks. Accuracy is ± 10 mm.
Standard
Suitable for most tanks even if there are echo-disturbing internal structures such as agitators or baffles. Accuracy is ± 10 mm.
Gold
For difficult applications in tanks or vessels where there might be multiple agitators, heating coils, beams or other sources of false echoes and where high accuracy and resolution is required. Accuracy is ± 5 mm.
