Detector types - Berthold Technologies

Detector retrofit program to improve your production

Especially in low radiation conditions, our highly sensitive detectors improve the signal to noise ratio, what is resulting in superior measurement performance compared to competing systems. Source replacement is costly, time consuming, and does not work towards a reduction in overall site source activity.

Berthold's retrofit solution

CrystalSENS Detector

Point detector with high-sensitive, high-quality Sodium Iodide crystal for best long-term stability.

SuperSENS Detector

Best sensitivity on the market, is able to work with smallest source activities.

UniSENS Detector

Rod detector with a sensitive detector length of 0.5 up to 2.0 m for level and interface measurements.

TowerSENS Detector

With a max. length of 8 m - the rod detector is specifically designed to monitor long measuring ranges

Geiger-Mueller Detector

The most cost efficient Geiger-Mueller radiometric detectors for easy level switch applications.
