Container with radiation source insert with manual switch-on and switch-off
Application
The FQG60 source container is designed to hold the radioactive
source during radiometric level limit measurement, level
measurement and density measurement. The radiation is
emitted almost unattenuated in one direction only, and is
damped in all other directions.
137
The FQG60 is suitable for
The FQG61, FQG62 or QG2000 devices are available for larger
activities.
In the case of density measurement, it is suitable for pipe outer
diameters ranging from 48 to 273 mm (1.89 to 10.7 in).

• A high local dose rate also causes the detector unit (scintillator and photomultiplier) to age quickly. The best way to avoid such a situation is to mount a second radiometric measuring system that monitors the radiation intensity.
