Continuous liquid level measurements with time-domain reflectometry
Abstract
Description of the basic principles of radar measurements of cryogenic liquid levels in storage vessels by time-domain reflectometry. The probe consists of a right circular coaxial transmission line positioned vertically in the storage vessel and having holes drilled in the outer conductor to permit penetration of the liquid into the annular gap. RF pulses transmitted through the probe are reflected at liquid/gas interface and returned for sampling at the input. The measured delay of the return pulse is displayed as the level of liquid in the vessel.
