Density Gauge

Nucleonic density measurement of slurries and liquids.

Our advanced nucleonic density gauge incorporates control and monitoring through an iPad® interface.

• High sensitivity allows use of low activity sources
• Built in protection from high count rates (empty pipe)
• Rugged design, with built in backlit LCD display
• Repeatability 0.0001 SG
• Automatic gain stabilization

SPECIFICATIONS
Source Holder: Kanawha Scales & Systems can provide an approved source holder or you can use an existing compatible third party source holder (contact KSS for further information).
Radioisotope: Dependent on source size required and source holder.
Detector Element: Sodium Iodide scintillation detector with integral photomultiplier with automatic gain stabilization.
Electronics: All electronics fully integrated into a single module.
Housing: Stainless steel for harsh conditions. Mild steel epoxy painted or stainless steel mounting brackets with multiple mounting arrangements to accommodate existing source holders.
Power: 88-264 VAC single phase, or 24VDC.
Data Integrity: Radioactive decay clock, no data loss with power off.
Communications & Control: Output: 4-20mA for SG (with separate 24V and 240V connections) Setup/Control/Calibration. Diagnostics: iPad® via wireless communications* (iPad® and Density Gauge App included). Modbus® over Ethernet also available.
Display: Integral backlit LCD display on detector housing – displays SG and counts displayed for reference and basic diagnostics.

*IPAD® DENSITY GAUGE APP FEATURES
• Control multiple gauges using one iPad®; records from all gauges are stored on the iPad®, just select the gauge of interest from the menu. (Windows software also available – please inquire with KSS for details.)
• Detailed Help Manual within the app.
• Powerful setup, calibration and diagnostic functions.
• Graphical display of SG; view trend in real time (data logging interval adjustable).
• Histogram display of reference trend for last 10 water calibrations, showing % variance.
• Ability to enter an offset “on-the-fly” if needed to bring the gauge reading into line with “known” SG.
• Full detector spectrum plot for in-depth diagnosis as well as detector resolution and interrogation.
• All data downloadable via iTunes® for backup purposes and more.
