In products with lower dielectric values (< 4),
a part of the radar signal penetrates the
medium. If the vessel is nearly empty, echoes
are generated by both the product and the
vessel bottom. The echo from the vessel
bottom can in some cases be stronger than
the echo from the product surface. If a de-
flector is installed below the open end of the
measuring tube, the radar signals are scat-
tered and prevented from reaching the ves-
sel bottom. This ensures that, in nearly empty
vessels or with products of low dielectric
value, the product delivers a more distinct
echo than the vessel bottom.
Due to the deflector, the useful echo (and
thus the measured value) remains clearly
detectable in a nearly empty vessel, and the
0 % level can be reliably measured.
The standpipe or surge pipe can be
equipped with a quadrant pipe at its end
instead of a deflector. This quadrant pipe
reflects the radar signals that penetrate the
medium diffusely to the side and diminishes
strong echoes from the tube end or the ves-
sel bottom.
