Radiometric Measurements of Super-latives
In the area of radiometric measurement technology the trend is heading towards lowest possible source activities. Berthold Technologies is pioneering these developments. With its state of the art Super-Sens, the company provides the worldwide most sensitive radiometric detector for measuring point level, continuous level and density, 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 can be taken, where a source activity of 185 GBq was required in the past to solve the measurement task. By switching to Super-Sens technique, the source size in this application was reduced to 5.5 GBq, which is equivalent to 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, the Super-Sens is the preferred solution
