Protrac nucleonic gauging systems from VEGA
VEGA become first supplier to offer SIL-qualified radiometric instruments across all models
NUCLEONIC instruments for measuring level, density, interface and mass flow are unaffected by high vessel pressures, aggressive media, extreme process temperatures and other process challenges.
Sensors are mounted externally to the process and accurately and reliably measure through container walls – with the help of gamma sources.
Because all VEGA Protrac sensors have been developed to IEC/EN 61508, VEGA will be the first suppliers to offer SIL-qualified radiometric instruments across all models.
Every Protrac model has a detector to suit the application. For example, the solid-rod detector of Solitrac is designed especially for level measurement in straight-sided vessels, while the flexible detector of Fibretrac is suitable for levels in curved or contoured vessels and the small, compact, solid-crystal design of the Minitrac density detector can be mounted across pipes.
According to VEGA, the latest-generation electronics keep source activity levels to a minimum; this also means existing sources can have their lifespan extended, delaying disposal and saving costs.
Moreover, Protrac sensors incorporate VEGA’s popular plics modular system with integrated asset-management tools. They use the established FDT/DTM software for set up and have EDD capability.
With optional stainless steel housings, backlit integrated indicators and ATEX compliance, VEGA say Protrac is one of the most comprehensive radiometric gauging ranges on the market.
