    Appendix Gammapilot M FMG60 with HART 11.4 Measuring principle The radiometric measuring principle is based on the fact that gamma radiation is attenuated when it penetrates a material. Radiometric measurement can be applied for different measuring tasks: Gammapilot M Gammapilot M...
  • Page 97 (e.g. from nondestructive material testing). Using a frequency filter, the Gammapilot M FMG60 can thus separate the useful signal from interference radiation. In this way, it is possible to continue measuring even if interference radiation occurs, which, in turn, increases the measuring certainty and system availability.
