Some Useful Level Measurement Abbreviations & What They Mean
I will come back and update this post, as and when I find more abbreviations relating to level measurement, pressure, density and switching. Maybe I’ve missed some that you can think of (as a test), in which case you can let me know by leaving a comment so I can update the post!
Capacitive
A – Admittance
C – Capacitance
I RF – Impedance
K RF – Relative dielectric constant
R RF – Resistance
RF RF – Radio Frequency
Hydrostatic
H – Head or hydrostatic Head
HTG – Hydrostatic Tank Gauging
LT – Level Transmitter
P – Pressure
DP – Differential Pressure
PT – Pressure Transmitter
TT – Temperature transmitter
Radar or Microwave
AM – Amplitude Modulated
ETS – Equivalent Time sampling
FFT – Fast Fourier Transform
FM – Frequency Modulated
FMCW – Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave
GWR – Guided Wave Radar
TAR – Through Air Radar
TDR – Time-domain reflectometer
Ultrasonic
UT – Ultrasonic Transducer
LED – Light Emitting Diode
BCD – Binary Coded Decimal

Interesting discussion going on over at the Control.com Forum:
The Slurry Density Measurement thread answering the question below:
“I would like to know if there are any as reliable instruments available as the Gamma meaurement instruments to determine slurry density. The slurry consists of fly ash (fine ash) and coarse ash from coal boilers and water. Average density varies from 1000 to 1500 kg/m3. I would like to do away with the radiation source to have a nuclear free”
Here at VEGA, we are are loving it, as look what Walt Boyes, Editor in Chief of Control magazine had to say:
“There are several suppliers of nuclear slurry density gauges that are available in the United States. The best of them, in my opinion, is Thermo (the old Texas Nuclear AND Kay-Ray brands), followed quickly by Ohmart-Vega (whose nuclear level gauges are better than Thermo’s) and Berthold Systems. ”

VEGAPULS 68:
Through optimized radar technology, the sensor can process signals up to a thousand times smaller than those normally handled by conventional radar instruments. This high sensitivity enables measuring ranges up to 70 m even in products with poor reflective properties.
For the most demanding application conditions
VEGAPULS 68 delivers reliable level data even in high temperatures, such as e.g. in steel production. The dusty conditions in the coal processing facilities of power plants or in building materials storehouses do not bother VEGAPULS 68 in the least. The wide dynamic range of the sensor also opens up new possibilities in applications with powders and granulates in the food and chemical industries.
Example of a high temperature application:
Sensor version: Horn antenna with nitrogen air purging connection
- Non-contact measurement, maintenance-free
- Uninfluenced by temperature
- No malfunctions due to changing gas compositions
- Independent of bulk solids surface geometry
- Small sensor dimensions
- Easy retrofitting
