Radiation Thickness Gauge

Radiation Thickness Gauge. In a thickness gauge of the type wherein the thickness of a sample to be measured interposed between a source of radiations and a radiation detector is measured by detecting the amount of the radiations which have been transmitted through said sample and attenuated functionally in accordance with the radiation absorption characteristic and the thickness of said sample the.

Gauging Devices The use of radiation in devices used to gauge (measure or monitor) certain activities is probably one of the widest uses in industry These devices which can be portable or set in a fixed position can monitor the flow of liquids can measure and control the thickness of metals films paper and plastic and can monitor material density.

Radioactivity : Radioactive Gauges

Any thickness gauge that operates on the principle of electromagnetic radiation absorption (X or gamma rays) produces an initial measuring signal that is proportional to the mass and composition of the metal but not directly to the absolute thickness.
