Abstract
A radar level gauging arrangement for performing radar level gauging in a tank having a tank wall which is impermeable to a product held in the tank and transmissive to radar signals, comprising an attachment device configured to be secured to a substantially flat portion of said tank wall, without penetration of the tank wall, and a radar level gauge including a directional antenna, the radar level gauge being mounted to the attachment device, such that, when said attachment device is secured against the tank wall, the directional antenna is positioned so as to enable transmission of radar signals through the tank wall. By mounting a radar level gauge to an attachment device which can be secured to the tank wall without penetrating the tank wall, radar level gauging can thus be provided without damaging or interfering with the tank.
