Ronan Engineering Company products

RLL is a Ronan Engineering term that stands for “Radiation Low Level.” RLL technology utilizes up to a total of 0.9 mCi (0.33 GBq) of cesium source. In comparison, some conventional density gamma gauges use source sizes with a hundred times more activity to make the same measurement. Because of these very low-levels of activity, and their simplicity of design, Ronan systems are the safest gamma gauges on the market. The NRC recognized this in 1999 when Ronan Engineering attained certification for the first RLL source design.

The Ronan GS-400 Source Holder is a Fireproof Rated Design which mounts externally to the pipe or vessel. With a collimation angle of up to 90 degrees, it is ideal for continuous level applications where multiple sources would normally be required. The GS-400 is available in a variety of sizes providing shielding which meets all international standards for radiation limits.

Features: Ductile Iron cast with epoxy paint as standard. Available in PVC coated ductile iron as an option for harsh environments. Lead Free Option Available. Manual Rotary Shutter as Standard. Options include: Shutter Position Indicator Contact Output, Air or Electric Actuated Shutter with Position Indicator Contact Output.

The new X96SI/R integrally-mounted transmitter includes a patented optical coupling that allows the transmitter and detector electronics assembly to be easily mounted to any detector configuration. The transmitter can also be remotely mounted in the field or control room. Fully Ethernet capable, configurations, software updates, and data logging can be completed easily through the user’s PC using a standard web browser. The X96SI/R is available in explosion proof, weatherproof or stainless steel housing. The system is backward-compatible to enable you to easily upgrade existing systems to newer transmitter technology. State-of-the-art transmitter-based electronics provide precision gauging. The system is menu-driven for simple programming.

Ronan Density systems are mounted externally to the pipe via brackets, or internally in dry wells, and can be installed while the process is running. The instruments have no wetted parts and are ideal for liquid processes where traditional contact technologies cannot be used.

The Ronan non-contact weight scale is an economical approach for solids weighing on belt and screw conveyors. The system can be installed by simply bolting the frame around the conveyor, without the need to make any costly adjustments to the conveyor itself. The lightweight, compact design enables it to be located in areas where space is a limitation and without the need for additional supports or foundations.

The X90 Point Level Monitor detects the presence of material at a given point in a tank, hopper, chute or process pipe. All components are mounted externally to the process vessel making the system ideal for monitoring the most dangerous materials such as caustic, toxic, corrosive, explosive and carcinogenic substances, irrespective of their temperature. The modular design is ideal for upgrading older systems while keeping the existing sources.

The Mass Flow system consists of a Ronan Density gauge with an input from a volumetric flowmeter, such as a magnetic flowmeter. The Ronan gauge is mounted externally to the pipe via brackets, or internally in dry wells, and can be installed while the process is running. The instruments have no wetted parts and are ideal for liquid processes where traditional contact technologies cannot be used.

The Ronan interface system solves the problems of accurately detecting and measuring interface level, process density and product profiles. By using non-contact technology, no components are wetted to the process, making it ideal for processes with harsh conditions, such as: high temperature, high pressure, corrosive, abrasive, or toxic. Typically, the measurement is repeatable to a process density of +/-0.005 SpG and ½ inch (13 mm) level. System configuration can be for Interface Level or Process Density Profile.
