From Radiation to Measurable Signal – Scintillation Detectors in Industry

Imagine you need to measure the level in a tank, but the tank is extremely large, and the contents are hot and hazardous. How can you ensure everything is under control?
The answer: Scintillation detectors! These devices are the unseen helpers in industry, enabling radiometric measurements even in the most challenging environments. But how does this work?

Let’s watch here!

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

TowerSENS detector with a maximum length of 8 m (cascaded to cover up to 32 m), this rod detector is designed to monitor long measuring ranges

FracSENS LB 6770

Radiometric density meter can connect directly to the control system to calculate PPA, PPG, or SGU in both low and high pressure applications

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.
