The Tower-Sens LB 490 from Berthold Technologies is a rod detector for continuous level measurements. It allows measurement of level over a range of up to 8 m with only one model of electronics and one Ex-protected housing. This means significant cost saving for the customer, especially for measurements involving large measuring ranges.
Berthold radiometric level gauges have a reputation for their operational reliability and quality. They detect and monitor the material level in a bin, pressure vessel, or any other storage container, contactless by nuclear radiation. This non-contact process measurement is maintenance free as no wear and tear is experienced on the system components. The level measurement is unaffected by extreme process conditions such as temperature, pressure or chemical corrosiveness. The level measuring systems can easily be fitted to existing plants without mechanical modifications to the container. High sensitivity scintillation counters enable the use of low activity radiation sources which, in turn, reduce the radiation hazard significantly.
All Berthold gauges and level switches incorporate automatic source decay compensation.
