5 Reasons Why Radar LevelSensors Are Better than
Radar level sensors are revolutionizing liquid measurement by overcoming foam, vapor, and turbulence challenges. Learn how Icon’s ProScan3 80GHz sensor delivers superior accuracy, reliability, Radar
TankPro Submersible Level Sensor
The TankPro® Continuous Level Sensor Transmitter provides continuous level measurement for both corrosive and non-corrosive liquids. These submersible hydrostatic transmitters have been designed for the toughest industrial applications. Unlike ultrasonic level transmitters, our liquid level sensors are completely unaffected by any foam, vapor, turbulence or condensate in the tank.
The TankPro® Continuous Level Sensor Transmitter works by sitting at the bottom of the tank and measuring the head pressure of the liquid pushing down on its ceramic sensing diaphragm. The only submersible level sensor with an integral molded weight to ensure the sensor will remain at the bottom and you will always receive an accurate, reliable reading.
These plastic level sensors have been engineered to be completely corrosion resistant. They are available in PVC, PP, PVDF and PTFE Teflon® making them the perfect chemical tank level sensors. All models come equipped with a Teflon® jacketed cable and a Kalrez® O-ring seal to ensure it stands up to the industry’s most corrosive chemicals.
Our Submersible Level Transmitters require no programming, have no moving parts and are engineered with a non-clogging design. They are the industry’s simplest, most reliable level sensors, making them the perfect solution for tough applications where ultrasonics will not preform.

- What is a Radar Level Sensor?
A liquid level sensor operates by detecting the presence or absence of material or determining the level of material
within a container. This is achieved using various technologies like capacitance, ultrasonic waves, or, as in the case of
radar, by measuring the time taken for a signal to bounce back from the material surface. Level sensing can be contact
or non-contact-based, depending on the method employed. A radar level sensor is a device used to measure the level of
liquids, solids, or slurries in various challenging industrial applications. It utilizes radar technology to determine the
distance from the sensor to the surface of the material being measured.
