Radiometric

Continuous level measurement is a very important process variable either for control, inventory or safety applications is vital information needed for your plant operation.

There are two main types of products to measure level liquids or bulks, with many different characteristics, water base, hydrocarbons, chemicals, powders, granulates, with foam presence, turbulence surface or dusty atmosphere so the selection of the correct level measurement instrument need the assistance of an expert to get the best result for your process.


Radiometric

Measurement Principle

A gamma ray source, consisting of a cesium or cobalt isotope, emits radiation that is attenuated as it passes through materials. The measurement is based on the absorption that radiation undergoes by the measured product and that depends on changes in its level. The measurement system consists of a source, a radioactive source container, and a compact transmitter as a receiver.
