Real-World Radiometric Measurement Applications
See how Ronan radiometric measurement systems are applied to challenging level, density, weight and mass flow applications across a wide range of process industries.
Application Notes
Our application notes provide practical examples of how non-contact radiometric technology can solve measurement challenges where conventional technologies may be difficult to install, maintain or operate reliably.
Proven Solutions for Challenging Applications
Every process is different. Vessel geometry, material characteristics, temperature, pressure, buildup, abrasion and other operating conditions can all affect measurement performance.
Ronan Application Notes highlight real-world applications and explain how radiometric systems can be configured to provide reliable, repeatable measurement without contacting the process.
Reliable Continuous Level Measurement even with high pressure, high temperature, or caustic materials.
Non-contact Radiometric Measurement provides reliable measurement for the most challenging industrial process environements.
Because the source and detector mount externally, radiometric systems can measure through vessel walls, pipes and process equipment without contacting the material being measured.
That makes the technology particularly valuable for applications involving:
-
- Extreme temperatures or pressures
- Corrosive, abrasive or hazardous materials
- Heavy buildup or coating
- Viscous or difficult-to-handle products
- Sealed vessels and piping
- Challenging vessel or equipment geometry
