Accurate level measurement is essential for maintaining safe, efficient, and reliable industrial processes. In industries handling liquids, bulk solids, and layered materials, selecting the right measurement technology can be challenging, especially when vessels contain aggressive substances or operate under demanding process conditions.
The VEGA FIBERTRAC 31 offers a radiation-based, non-contact solution for measuring the level of liquids and bulk solids, as well as the interface between two liquid layers. Its external mounting arrangement allows measurement without inserting a probe into the vessel or bringing the sensor into direct contact with the product.
The VEGA FIBERTRAC 31 is a radiometric level measurement sensor designed for industrial tanks, vessels, silos, and bins. It measures through the vessel wall, making it suitable for applications where conventional internally mounted sensors may be difficult to install, maintain, or expose to the process material.
The system uses a sealed radioactive source housed in a VEGASOURCE container and a flexible detector installed on the opposite side of the vessel. The detector can extend up to 7 metres, allowing it to cover the required measuring height.
By detecting changes in the radiation passing through the vessel, the instrument determines the product level and provides measurement data to the plant’s control system.
The measurement process involves four main steps:
This arrangement enables measurement without direct product contact and without installing a measuring probe inside the vessel.
Because the sensor measures through the vessel wall, it does not require a probe inside the product. This helps avoid problems associated with probe corrosion, fouling, and wear.
The FIBERTRAC 31 can operate with any process pressure and temperature, according to its product documentation. This makes it suitable for challenging applications where conventional internal sensors may be difficult to use.
Its flexible detector supports installation on round and conical vessels. The external mounting arrangement can also simplify installation where access to the vessel interior is undesirable.
The instrument offers non-repeatability of 0.5% or better, supporting consistent level monitoring in industrial processes.
With 4 to 20 mA/HART, Profibus PA, and Foundation Fieldbus outputs, the sensor can communicate measurement data to compatible plant control systems. Configuration options include the PLICSCOM display, PACTware/DTM software, VEGADIS 81 or 82 displays, and the VEGA Tools app via Bluetooth.
The VEGA FIBERTRAC 31 is designed for applications where non-contact measurement offers practical advantages.
The appropriate configuration depends on the vessel, process conditions, measuring requirements, and applicable safety regulations.
The FIBERTRAC 31 detector is mounted externally along the vessel, with the radiation source positioned opposite it. Configuration can be carried out using supported VEGA displays, software, or the VEGA Tools app.
The sensor has no moving parts or measuring probes inside the vessel, supporting a low-maintenance design. However, its radiometric measurement principle requires particular attention to radiation safety.
The sealed radioactive source must be handled, installed, licensed, and periodically checked in accordance with local radiation safety regulations. These activities must be performed by trained and authorised personnel. The source type and activity should be confirmed with VEGA before installation.
The VEGA FIBERTRAC 31 provides a non-contact approach to industrial level measurement by using radiation to determine product levels through the vessel wall. Its flexible detector, compatibility with different vessel shapes, and support for liquid, bulk solid, and interface measurement make it a useful option for demanding process applications.
For industries seeking to monitor levels without inserting a probe into the product, the FIBERTRAC 31 offers an alternative worth evaluating against the specific process and installation requirements.
