Liquid Level Measurement - Radiation Sources

Liquid Level Measurement - Radiometric Radiation Sources Gamma Radiation Sources For level and interface measurement. Conform to strict safety standards. Areas of application Radioactive isotopes are used as gamma radiation sources for level, density and interface measurement as well as for level limit detection. The gamma source radiates equally in all directions. For radiometric measurements, however, only radiation passing through the tank or pipe is of interest. All other radiation is superfluous and must be shielded off. For this reason, the radioactive source is mounted in a special source container which affords the necessary protection while providing a defined, practically unattenuated, narrow beam in one direction only. Benefits at a glance Point source in special source container ensures simple handling and easy installation Specially constructed source capsule conforms to strictest safety requirements, Class 66646 to ISO 2919 Choice of source type and activity ensures optimised dosage for your application The most important technical data Source: Co 60 (half life time 5,3 years) or Cs 137 (half life time 30 years) Activity depending on the application 37 MBq (1 mCi) ... 185 GBq (5000 mCi) Technical Information: TI 213F/00
