Radar offers an incredibly sensitive measurement of surface level that can be nearly maintenance free. The potential for an accurate inventory measurement is dramatic but with this extreme capability comes some extraordinary application considerations. A checklist is offered of implementation details to help achieve the full capability of this measurement.

Occasionally I get a product introduction that I think is worth taking note of here. Today I got one. Siemens has a new radar level gauge, for solids. I'll let their press release tell you all about it. I wanna see one, and I wanna see one working-- because if it does, it is going to be really cool.
