VEGAPULS 64 Radar Level Transmitter

Overview

The VEGAPULS 64 is VEGA’s first radar level sensor for liquids that operates at a frequency of 80 GHz. With the smallest antenna of its kind, the VEGAPULS 64 is unbeatable for use in small storage or process vessels, while its versatility also makes it ideal for general use across widely different industrial sectors.

As an authorized supplier of VEGA instrumentation, Seven Star LLC proudly offers the VEGAPULS 64 to pharmaceutical, chemical, food production, energy generation, and water management facilities across the Sultanate of Oman, Muscat, and the wider GCC. Featuring small process fittings for small tanks or tight spaces, the sensor’s very good signal focusing enables use in vessels with many installations such as stirrers and heating spirals.

Measurement Principle

The VEGAPULS 64 operates with a transmission frequency of 80 GHz and, with an 80mm antenna, achieves a beam angle of only 3°. The radar sensor receives only distinct, definitive reflections from the product surface, making the measurement more accurate and reliable—an 80 GHz beam reflects almost exclusively from the product surface, while a wider 26 GHz beam also reflects from internal fixtures and agitators.

With a dynamic range of 120dB, the VEGAPULS 64 sets new standards for detecting even the lowest reflected signals, delivering significantly increased measurement certainty especially when measuring hydrocarbons with poor reflective properties. This means virtually all media in the petrochemical industry, from crude oil to liquefied gases, can be measured reliably—regardless of dielectric constant—with an accuracy of ±1mm.

Engineering Design of the VEGAPULS 64

The VEGAPULS 64 covers a measuring range up to 30m, process temperatures from -196°C to +200°C, and process pressures from -1 to 25 bar. Version options include a plastic horn antenna (ø80mm), thread with integrated horn antenna, flange with encapsulated antenna system, or hygienic fitting with encapsulated antenna system, with wetted parts available in PFA, PTFE, 316L, Alloy C22, or PEEK.

Hygienic connection options include Clamp (≥2″, DN50), Slotted nut (≥2″, DN50), DRD connection, and NEUMO BioControl D50 PN16/316L fittings, making the sensor well suited to sanitary process applications. The innovative PLICSCOM display and adjustment module mounts directly on the sensor for measured value indication, adjustment, and diagnostics, with an optional Bluetooth feature allowing wireless adjustment of any transmitter from a distance of approximately 25 meters via the VEGA Tools App.

Key Features

The VEGAPULS 64 combines the world’s first 80 GHz liquid radar sensor with hygienic and industrial versatility. Core capabilities include:

• First 80 GHz radar level sensor for liquids, with a 3° beam angle from an 80mm antenna.
• ±1mm accuracy with 120dB dynamic range for even poorly reflecting hydrocarbons.
• Measuring range up to 30m; process temperature -196°C to +200°C.
• Small process fittings ideal for compact tanks and tight installation spaces.
• Hygienic fittings (Clamp, Slotted Nut, DRD, NEUMO BioControl) for sanitary applications.
• Bluetooth-enabled PLICSCOM module for wireless adjustment up to 25m away.
• 3-A, FDA, and EG1935/2004 approvals for food and pharmaceutical use.
• ATEX, FM, CSA, IECEx, and multiple marine class society approvals.

Industrial Applications

The VEGAPULS 64 is well suited to pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, and water management facilities across Oman requiring precise, non-contact level measurement of liquids in compact or complex vessels. Its small process fittings and hygienic connection options make it a preferred choice for sanitary processing applications, while its high dynamic range suits petrochemical storage from crude oil to liquefied gases.
