Product Introduction

The Kongsberg GLA-3105-RD-N1 is a closed radar tank gauge from the Kongsberg GLA-310/5 range, built for cargo tanks on LPG, LEG, ammonia and LNG gas carriers. It measures liquid level with FMCW radar through a still pipe and is type approved for custody transfer. SM MARINE SERVICE™ (https://www.smmarineservice.com/) supplies Kongsberg GLA-310/5 radar tank gauges and related boards in refurbished condition to gas carrier owners, ship managers, shipyards and cargo system service companies worldwide.

What Is This Equipment?

The GLA-310/5 is a Kongsberg radar level gauge installed on top of a cargo tank. It sends a low-power X-band (10 GHz) frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal down a 50 mm still pipe and calculates the liquid level from the reflected signal. A dual sweep cancels Doppler effects from cargo movement, and reference markers on the pipe flanges give continuous verification (AutroCAL). The gauge is intrinsically safe (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga) and is connected by RS485 to the GLK-300 signal processing unit, which feeds the ship's cargo monitoring system (for example K-Gauge). It can be used as a primary or secondary gauge or as an overfill protection sensor.

Main Features

  • Closed FMCW radar tank gauge for liquefied gas cargo tanks
  • Measuring range up to 50–55 m with 2 mm RMS sensor accuracy (data sheet)
  • X-band (10 GHz) radar, radiated power below 1 mW
  • Dual sweep for Doppler cancellation from cargo movement
  • Continuous verification with reference markers on the still pipe (AutroCAL)
  • Tank temperature down to -165 °C and tank pressure up to 20 bar g
  • Intrinsically safe: Ex II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga, IECEx SIR 14.0025X, Sira 14ATEX2056X
  • Approved for custody transfer; class type approvals ABS, BV, CCS, DNV-GL, KRS, LRS, NK
  • Stainless steel AISI 316(L) body, IP66/67 protection
  • RS485 two-pair cable interface to GLK-300 signal processing unit

Common Problems & Troubleshooting

  • No level reading / communication fault: check the RS485 cable, terminals and the GLK-300 signal processing unit.
  • Unstable or wrong level: check the still pipe, reference markers, condensation or deposits on the antenna lens.
  • Reference marker deviation: verify still pipe installation and gauge calibration settings.
  • Gauge not powered: check the intrinsically safe supply and barrier circuits.
  • Cover seal leakage: check the clamp ring and gasket.

Safety note: the gauge is installed on pressurised gas cargo tanks in a hazardous area. Never open a gauge on a tank under pressure, follow the gas-free and permit-to-work procedures, keep the intrinsic safety installation as per drawing GL-2567, and let only trained technicians service the system.

Maintenance Tips

  • Check the gauge readings against reference markers and manual gauging
  • Inspect the cover clamp, gasket and cable gland for tightness
  • Keep the RS485 cable connections dry and tight
  • Follow Kongsberg instructions for verification before custody transfer
  • Keep a spare gauge for critical cargo tanks
