Level Gauging
QSA gamma radiation sources are used in nuclear, radar, and ultrasonic level measurement devices. Level measuring devices, also known as level gauging, allow accurate monitoring of process fluids without making physical contact with package contents.
The transmission of gamma radiation through a container is affected by the level contents. The intensity of the transmitted radiation is measured and used to activate switches when pre-set intensity levels are reached.
Applications
Storage hopper level control
- Switch can be used to operate high level and low level alarms or pumps switch control.
Can/Package contents monitoring
- Switch can be used to operate reject control for up to 10cm of low atomic number material.
