  • Patent number: 9322699
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar level gauge comprising a reference reflector arranged at a known reference reflector level in a tank. The radar level gauge is controllable between a filling level measuring state and a proof test state. In the proof test state, the radar level gauge is configured to determine a first verification level based on a reference reflector echo resulting from reflection of an electromagnetic transmit signal at the reference reflector; determine a second verification level based on a surface echo resulting from reflection of an electromagnetic transmit signal at the surface of the product; and provide the first verification level and the second verification level to allow determination of a proof test result based on at least the first verification level, the known reference reflector level and the second verification level.

  • Patent number: 9325077
    Abstract: The present invention relates to reflector arrangement for proof test of a radar level gauge and to a radar level gauge system comprising such a reflector arrangement. The reflector arrangement comprises a pliable elongated member for attachment to a fixed structure in the tank; a weight attachable to the pliable elongated member; and a reflector member for reflecting an electromagnetic signal impinging on the reflector plate. The weight is configured to be coupled to the reflector member in such a way that an orientation of the weight determines an orientation of the reflector member.
