POINTRAC 31

Radiometric sensor for level detection

Short rod detector

Application area

The short rod detector monitors the limit level of liquids and bulk solids without contact. The sensor is used on vessels of any geometry and on pipelines.
The POINTRAC 31 is a radiation-based sensor for universal level detection of liquids and bulk solids. Independent of the mounting location, it monitors reliably the limit level in vessels. The sensor can be used for applications in all industries. Due to the high sensitivity POINTRAC 31 is an economical solution with minimum radiation activity.
