Hydraulic fracturing measurement - Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co.KG

State of the art measurement technology

$Density measurement systems specifically designed for hydraulic fracturing$

Optimized for use in fracturing applications

Berthold has supplied nuclear density meters to the fracturing industry for more than 10 years. During that time, we have learned that the fracturing environment is tougher than any other industry – we have learned how to address these special needs. Therefore, we offer a complete line of specialized products that exactly meet our customers‘ demands in the fracturing industry – no matter if a new system or a retrofitting solution is required. With more than 1.000 density systems installed on fracturing applications, we have proven our capability to provide the products, support, and service that this industry deserves.

High sensitive detector for fracturing applications

Berthold detectors are particularly sensitive to gamma radiation. This offers the following advantages:

Increased measurement accuracy and faster response times
High long-term stability and measured value reproducibility
Significantly lower source activity
Longer lifetime
Use of smaller shields and thus lower costs
Minimum dose rate – less than 1 μSv/h
Specially designed for fracturing applications

Unique long-term detector stability

A stable and reliable measurement over years is an important quality criterion when choosing a radiometric density measurement system. Accordingly, much effort has gone into the development and optimization of this detector property. Today we are proud to say that Berthold detectors offer the best long-term stability. A patented automatic drift compensation method compensates for temperature effects, ensuring high sensitivity and consistent measurement accuracy over the life of the system and years of operation without recalibration.

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.
