Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) technology
Replacing the conventional Vacuum Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) with SiPM technology allows for a very small and compact design. With improved ruggedness, low power consumption, virtually no degradation, and built-in redundancy, SiPM technology is ideal for demanding mould level applications.

Measuring the steel level in continuous casting
Radiometric based mould level measurement is the dominating technology for measuring the steel level in continuous casting. Herein we discuss performance, statistical variation, influencing factors, source selection, and a recent development that enables the simultaneous measurement of casting powder layer thickness.
