The measuring principle
The radiometric level measurement is based on a simple but very effective measuring principle. With the help of a rod source or a point source, a gamma ray field is generated, which radiates the vessel or container over the desired measuring range. When penetrating the vessel or container, the intensity of the gamma radiation is weakened. As the level increases in this radiation field, more radiation is thus absorbed.
The intensity weakened by the product being measured is measured on the opposite side of the container by a highly-sensitive detector. Since wall thickness, radiation path and source type are constant, the change in the fill level alone affects the attenuation of the radiation. Radiometric level measurement is contactless, which is a huge advantage over other measurement techniques.
Measurement results are not affected by temperature, dust, pressure or color. The conductivity of the material to be measured and the chemical product properties also have no influence on the results. This gives you precise readings in every situation.
