  • Compact, robust design
  • High Pressure rating up to 20k psi (1400 bar)
  • No moving part, zero maintenance or servicing
  • EX Intrinsically Safe sensor certification (IECEx, ATEX) available
  • Rheonics Ostrich software for fluid detection visualization (water/sand/gas)
  • Suitable for installation in vessels and pipelines
DESCRIPTION

Rheonics Sand Detector Probe (SDP) is a switch level sensor used to detect the accumulation or presence of particles in fluid e.g. sand in a desander vessel or pipelines used in oil and gas industries. Rheonics SDP is designed to sustain high pressure environments such as those found in desanders. Rheonics Ostrich software that comes with the sensor makes real-time monitoring possible and recognitizion of phases in the fluid such as oil, water, sand, or a mix of them.

Sensor probe for detection

Based on Rheonics balanced torsional resonator technology. A sensing element of 50 mm length is in charge of measurements.

High-Pressure

High pressure probe design and adapter for compatibility with operation conditions in desanders.

Designed for custom installation

Customer interface – An extension tube and process connection or flange are welded by user or by Rheonics under request

Electronics and Software

Electronics is integrated to local system to indicate sand presence and initiate action e.g. activation of purge valve. Special software used for detection of Sand, Water, Air and Log file reports.
