The top-mounted radar level gauge refers to the installation method where the radar sensor (including the antenna and electronic unit) is directly fixed on the opening at the top of the container through a flange or thread for non-contact measurement from top to bottom. This is the most common and mainstream installation method.

1. Most in line with measurement logic: Directly measure the space distance from the tank top to the liquid surface, with simple and intuitive calculation (liquid level = tank height - measurement value).
2. Convenient installation and maintenance: Only need to open a hole at the tank top, install and wire from the outside, no need to enter the tank, safe and labor-saving.
3. Avoid medium contact and contamination: For non-contact antennas (such as horn antennas), the instrument does not come into contact with the medium at all, suitable for corrosive, high-temperature, high-pressure, high-viscosity, and easily crystallized and other complex media.
4. Applicable to various container types: Dome tanks, floating roof tanks (special design required), spherical tanks, reactors, silos, water tanks, etc. can all adopt top mounting.
5. Flexible antenna selection: Can freely choose the most suitable antenna type according to the working conditions to achieve the best measurement effect.

• Oil and storage and transportation: Large storage tanks for crude oil, refined oil, and chemical products.
• Chemical and pharmaceutical industries: Various reaction vessels, intermediate tanks, finished product tanks, and solvent storage tanks.
• Power industry: Coal bunkers, limestone silos, fly ash silos, and desulfurization towers.
• Water and wastewater treatment: Clear water tanks, wastewater tanks, dosing tanks, and sludge tanks.
• Food and beverage: Sugar storage tanks, fermentation tanks, and water storage tanks.
• Metallurgy and cement: Mineral powder silos, cement silos, and raw material homogenization silos.

Top-mounted radar level gauges are the most standard, reliable and widely used form of radar level measurement technology. They perfectly embody the core advantages of radar measurement, including non-contact, high precision and high reliability.
