The isotope Am-241 or Cm-244 is used as the radiation source. The advantage: Am-241 and Cm-244 have very low radiation energies, which correspond approximately to the energy of X-rays. The density measuring system InlineSENS offers high statistical accuracy and long-term stability by using a highly sensitive scintillation detector with patented drift compensation. The measuring system, which is made entirely of stainless steel, is permanently flanged to the pipeline and measures continuously the product density of liquids, suspensions, slurries, and bulk solids. In the case of the Am-241 version, the product pipe can also be supplied with a liner of Teflon (PTFE) or rubber if required. In the Cm-244 version, on the other hand, a polypropylene liner is installed as standard. Depending on the existing pipeline, various flange and product pipe options are available (DIN flanges, ASA flanges, and threaded connections in nominal diameters between DN 40 and 65).
Application examples:
- Sugar industry: Measurement of thin and thick juice as well as milk of lime
- Dairy industry: Concentration measurements of whole and skim milk and whey for the control of evaporators. Measurement of the degree of whipping of curd cheese
- Beverage industry: Monitoring of the mixing of concentrate and water
- Power plants: Concentration measurements of lime milk in flue gas desulfurization plants (scrubbers)
- Starch production: Measurement of starch suspensions
- Pulp and paper industry: Measurement of the ash content on paper slurries before/after the deinking process.
- Chemical industry: Measurement of acids, alkalis, suspensions, concentration of anti-freezing compounds, determination of bulk density of washing powder
- Textile industry: Measurement of foaming and degree of whipping of dye liquor
- Steel industry: Concentration measurement of tin in the electroplating solution

As a world technology leader in the field of radiometric measuring systems, Berthold products convince with outstanding measuring performance and reliability. The main fields of application are, for example, in chemical & polymers (etc. fertilizer industry), steel and power plants, mining & mineral processing, waste & recycling, refineries, paper, glass and as well as in the food industry (etc. sugar beets). In addition, microwave measuring systems for the determination of moisture and concentration belong to our extensive portfolio. The production of high-quality measuring systems for industry and research began more than 70 years ago in Bad Wildbad in the Black Forest.
