Abstract
A radar level gauge comprising a signal propagation device, a dielectric filling member arranged in the signal propagation device, and a sealing arrangement for preventing tank content from escaping into the outside environment. The dielectric filling member includes a main body formed of a polymer material, and at least one structurally reinforced element formed of a modified polymer material providing, the modified polymer material being obtained by modifying the polymer material with a filler material, wherein the at least one structurally reinforced element is integrally formed with the main body by sintering, and forms part of the sealing arrangement. The present invention is based on the realization that a structurally reinforced element, made of a modified polymer material, may be integrated into the main body by sintering.
