Modernizing radiometric measurements: A true story
11. November
Radiometric instrumentation lasts a long time. A paper mill in the Upper Midwest understands this all too well. During a service call, VEGA Field Service noticed a number of old radiometric detectors, one of which had been in operation since 1966. Interested in upgrading their dated equipment, operators at the paper mill called the radiometric experts at VEGA to schedule a visit and learn about their options. Not long after the call, VEGA was at the mill’s doorstep.
VEGABAR measures reliably even under extreme pressures and temperatures

Electronic differential pressure measurement with two pressure transmitters of VEGABAR series 80: the solution for strongly fluctuating ambient temperatures.
80 GHz radar vs. ultrasonic: Non-contact Level Measurement Technology Comparison
04. November
When it comes to non-contact continuous level measurement, radar and ultrasonic are two of the most common technologies used. Both technologies are used for similar applications across industries, and both types of devices use similar principles to make a level measurement. However, each technology has varying degrees of success in different applications. This paper will compare and contrast 80 GHz radar sensors with ultrasonic transmitters for liquid and solid level measurements.
Preventing oil storage tank overfill hazards with a more reliable high level alarm: Application of the Month
01. November
Floating roof tanks are widely used at refineries everywhere, and spills in these vessels are not only costly, they’re also an environmental hazard. Fortunately, mitigating overfill risks is simplified by using a radar level sensor with an electronic output connected to a high level alarm, and in this application, the VEGAPULS 64 is the ideal radar sensor for the job.
VEGA Pressure Measurement Technology for the Production of Decor Paper
09. October
In the production of decor paper, the measurement technology used must be highly accurate and resistant to abrasion. On the colour mixing plant, the VEGABAR 82 pressure transmitter with ceramic measuring cell meets these requirements with ease.

Continuous crusher operation with better level measurement: Application of the month
01. October
Any mining operation is only as proficient as its crushing capabilities. Every crusher has an ideal level measurement at which it runs most efficiently. But getting an accurate and consistent level measurement in this application is a big challenge. Read how VEGA provides an accurate level measurement in this type of application.

Meeting IMO 2020 demands with better level instrumentation
23. September
A massive shift in the marine transportation fuels market is moving closer as new IMO 2020 regulations are set to begin January 1, 2020. On that day, the marine sector is required to reduce sulfur emissions by over 80 percent.
VEGAPULS 69 level sensor secures coal supply in an Indonesian power plant
19. September
Like hardly any other country, Indonesia has committed itself to an ambitious programme for expanding its energy reserves. Coal-fired power plants are playing an important role in this effort. And level measurement technology from VEGA is making sure that the coal bunkers in these plants never run empty.
