Radiation-based Detectors ProTrac

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides a comprehensive overview of radiation-based sensors used for measuring level, density, and mass flow. These sensors utilize gamma rays emitted by isotopes such as Caesium 137 or Cobalt 60, detected by a scintillator to measure various parameters.
Measuring Principle: The sensors operate by detecting gamma rays that are attenuated when passing through substances, enabling calculations of level, density, or mass flow.
Applications:
  • Level Measurement: FIBERTRAC and SOLITRAC sensors are designed to measure level changes through vessel walls, suitable for extreme conditions and pressurized vessels.
  • Density Measurement: MINITRAC provides non-contact density and concentration measurements for liquids and solids, adaptable to pipelines and vessels.
  • Flow Measurement: WEIGHTRAC measures the delivery volume of solids on conveyor systems, offering maintenance-free operation.
Technical Specifications:
  • FIBERTRAC 31: Features a flexible plastic detector, measuring range up to 7 m, reproducibility of ±0.5%, and optional SIL2 qualification.
  • SOLITRAC 31: Equipped with a PVT rod detector, measuring range up to 3 m, reproducibility of ±0.5%, and optional SIL2 qualification.

Radiation-based Detectors ProTrac-2

FIBERTRAC, SOLITRAC, MINITRAC, POINTRAC, WEIGHTRAC Radiation-based sensors for level, density and mass flow measurement Measuring principle With the radiation-based measurement, a Caesium 137 or Cobalt 60 isotope emits focused gamma rays. A special sensor located at the opposite side of the vessel receives this radiation. The so called scintillator converts the gamma rays into signals, their number is detected and processed. Because gamma rays are damped when penetrating the substance, the sensor can calculate the level, the limit level, the density or the mass flow out of the received radiation....
