Why choose· 01

Built for your duty.

Narrow beam

The high-frequency radar beam helps avoid tank internals, narrow nozzles and false echoes.

Hard conditions

A strong radar echo is preferred where steam, dust, foam or temperature variation can disturb ultrasonic measurement.

WELK model family

WKD18 / KJD-80 variants are selected from tank height, medium, nozzle size and output requirements.

Engineer-checked selection

WELK checks medium, tank/silo height, nozzle drawing, measuring range, pressure, temperature, output signal and certificate requirement so the quoted configuration matches the application.

Application-matched configuration

Selection notes focus on real tank conditions, measuring range, process connection, output signal and installation limits.

Product details· 02

How it is selected & specified.

The WKD18 / KJD-80 series uses 80 GHz FMCW radar for continuous non-contact level measurement in storage tanks, process vessels and silos.

For quotation, WELK confirms the vessel height, dielectric condition, nozzle size, process temperature, pressure, output signal and hazardous-area requirement.

80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80) is presented as a configurable WELK product family. Final model limits, wetted materials, process connection, certificate and output signal are confirmed from the selected datasheet before quotation.

Radar selection starts from medium dielectric, measuring distance, nozzle size, vapor/foam/dust condition, pressure, temperature and whether the antenna needs purge, aiming or hazardous-area approval.

FAQ· 06

80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80) questions.

How do I select 80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80)?

Start from medium, tank/silo height, nozzle drawing, measuring range, pressure, temperature, output signal and certificate requirement. WELK then confirms the exact model, material and output before quotation.

What is the difference between 80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80) and ultrasonic?

80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80) is selected for its specific duty and limitations. WELK compares it with ultrasonic, hydrostatic, guided wave radar when the process data suggests another technology may be safer.

Can 80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80) be customized?

Yes. Range, process connection, wetted material, output signal, cable length, display, switch points, documents and OEM label can be reviewed by product family.

What are the common limits of 80 GHz Radar Level Meter (WKD18 / KJD-80)?

Very low dielectric media, heavy buildup on the antenna, severe internal obstructions or unusual nozzle geometry should be reviewed before order.

Are the listed specifications final for every project?

No. Published values are typical selection ranges. WELK confirms final limits, material, output, certificate and documents from the actual process data before quotation.
