Berthold Technologies believes that in the area of radiometric measurement the trend is lowest possible source activity – hence the development effort the company is focusing on the technology. The state of the art Super-Sens provides a sensitive radiometric detector for measuring point level, continuous level and density, while setting new standards in source limitations. Compared to common detectors, the source activity can be reduced by 70-95% when using the Super-Sens detector. As an example the density measurement on a dredging application previously required an activity of 185 GBq to solve the measurement task. By switching to Super-Sens technology, the source size could be reduced to 5,5 GBq – a factor of 34.
The Super-Sens is primarily used when vessels or pipelines with large diameter or high wall thicknesses have to be penetrated. Furthermore, Super-Sens is a preferred solution when it comes to source exchanges, because the life of existing sources can be extended considerably when a sensitive Super-Sens detector is installed. An up-coming source exchange can therefore be postponed by as much as several years.
The high sensitivity of the Super-Sens is not exclusively the result of a large scintillation area, but is also due to additional shielding that protects it from interference and background radiation. The Super-Sens is available with HART or fieldbus interfaces (Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus) and includes all common explosion protection classes.
