The PulsarGuard 2001 sand sensor has been specifically designed for the Oil and Gas industry, using acoustic technology to detect sand / solids impact rate. The non-contacting sand-in-oil sensor is connected to the outside of the pipeline with a stainless steel band, meaning there is no need to break into the pipe or interrupt the operation. Using acoustic technology, it detects changes in the signature of flow within the pipe and converts it into a sand / solids impact rate. This makes it the ideal sensor to monitor well productivity and efficiency, detect blockages and/or foreign objects, and monitor the production of sand in oil and gas operations.
 
The PulsarGuard 2001 sand sensor MUST be used with the iSensys SandAlert monitor or the iSensys SandAlert portable units. The oil sensor is an intrinsically safe unit, ATEX approved to ATEX EEx ia IIC T4, and is made from 316 stainless steel with environmental protection to IP68. Its narrow frequency band makes the sensor highly resistant to interference from background noise, fluid flow, or gas flow.

• Acoustic Intrinsically safe flow switch
• Clamp-on Sensor
• Use with the iSensys SandAlert Monitor
