State of the art measurement technology

Concentration measuring principle by Berthold!

The microwave measuring system uses the dielectric property of water. The measuring system generates microwaves that interact with the water molecules. This interaction causes an attenuation of the microwave energy, which can be detected as phase shift and attenuation. Since the phase shift and attenuation changes are directly proportional to the water content in the product, the concentration or dry content in the medium can be determined with high accuracy.
Berthold‘s superior multi-frequency technology provides very stable and reliable measurements unaffected by interfering reflections or resonances. The microwave energy is so low (max. 10 mW) that the material to be measured is neither heated nor altered in any way.

Quality and safety

  • Multi-frequency technology for dynamic plausibility control of the incoming raw signal
  • Signal quality self-monitoring for processing measurement data
  • Patented microwave antennas for signal optimisation and avoidance of signal interference

Simple and intuitive operation

  • Real-time process information from online measurement
  • Intuitive/user-friendly interface simplifies configuration and calibration
  • Easy to install on existing pipelines, vessels or tanks
  • Superior measurement technology „Made in Germany”
