Berthold Technologies has introduced the DuoSeries LB 475, a radiometric density system especially designed for cementing and hydraulic fracturing.
The DuoSeries density measuring system easily connects to the FracSENS LB 6770 detector and links directly to the customer control system. No calibration or difficult math has to be implemented in the data system. The density gauge is used to translate the measured count rate into the specified output values either in low pressure or in high-pressure applications. The transmitter output can be configured for units of specific gravity, pounds per gallon, or a calculated pounds proppant added.
The density transmitter is a control unit with a robust 3.5-in. TFT touch panel, powerful Dual Core CPU, and diverse operator interfaces. Operators benefit from the new simplified user-friendly interface where calibration is said to be as simple as possible. Only two-points – a low and a high density, e.g. air and water – have to be acquired by the customer. Advanced self-diagnostics and monitoring features ensure a safe function of the system.
The company said that operators also benefit from the new service functionalities like data logging, which can be accessed either remotely through Ethernet connection or through the USB port at the front panel of the system.
