Product Overview
The Thermo Scientific SGD-O system consists of a radiation source in a
lead-filled housing, an ion chamber detector with an amplifier, and the
SGD-O transmitter. The transmitter processes the detector signal to
provide a signal output proportional to the density of the slurry, the mass
of solids added per volume of carrier, or both. This instrument is dedicated
to fracturing operations (fracing); therefore, this manual will describe the
setup for fracing applications only.
