Page 25: System Description
Measuring System 2.1.1 Basic Measuring Configuration The Uni-Probe LB 491 is a density measuring system consisting of scintillation detector and evaluation unit in one housing. The density meter utilizes the radiometric measuring method, i.e. the absorption of Gamma radiation passing through the product being measured.
Page 26 SIMATIC PDM software made by SIEMENS including the Uni-Probe Device Description provided by Berthold Technologies has to be installed on the respective PC. As an alternative, the Uni-Probe may also be operated via a FDT frame application, e.g.

Page 28 The 4–20mA density signal is transmitted from the Main Unit to the PCS (process control system) via 2-wire cable (ter- minals 51 and 52). ® The Uni-Probe LB 491 uses the HART protocol to communicate. Device communication Configuration, parameter setting and calibration of the Uni-Probe,...
Page 29 The radiation exit is cone shaped with an angle of about 10°. The user, together with Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG, selects the type and diameter of shielding to comply with dose rate requirements when using the source activity required by the mea- surement.
Page 30: Measuring Principle
2 System Description Volume 1 Measuring Principle The principle of measurement is the irradiation method. It utilizes the physical law of the absorption of radiation passing through matter. The resulting measuring effect is the ratio I/I between the unattenuated radiation I and the radiation I attenuated by the product being measured.
Page 31: Basic Measuring Configuration
U or S-shaped measuring paths may be used for smaller pipeline diameters. Measurements in containers are also possible. The respective selections are made during the planning stage and must be observed during assembly and commissioning. Uni-Probe LB 491 1 – 31 Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG...

Page 51: Detector Protection
Detector Protection 3.5.1 Cooling The Uni-Probe LB 491 with water cooling jackets has to be used if temperatures exceeding 50°C are expected. The cooling water cycle has to remain in operation even when the instrument is turned off, if the temperature is likely to exceed 50°C.
Page 52 3.5.4 Precautions against Vibrations The transfer of strong vibrations or shocks to the Uni-Probe LB 491 has to be prevented by suitable constructive measures (e.g. shock absorbers), as this may damage the detector. If necessary, shield- ing container and detector have to be installed on a separate con- struction or suspension.

This is especially true for persons that are not directly involved in this work.

Page 162 3 Radiation Protection Volume 2 3.2.3 Radiation Dose Calculations When preparing work on radiometric measuring systems, it is important to pre-calculate the radiation exposure to be expected, since this has consequences on the required safety precautions. The expected radiation exposure can be calculated quite easily and with sufficient accuracy, provided you know the isotope and the activity of the source used.

Page 164: Safety Measures
3 Radiation Protection Volume 2 Safety Measures When designing the installation of radiometric measuring systems, the possibility that a fire breaks out must be considered. Please keep in mind that flammable substances must not be stored in the proximity of radioactive substances. They should be covered and protected properly to prevent a possible spreading of the fire to the radioactive sources.

• Limit access to the area • Report the incident to Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG; who will advise what further immediate precautions to take and arrange for quick support from a licensed person. In case of loss or theft, notify the regulatory authority.
Page 166 In case of an accident or malfunction or any other event which affects the safety, the regulatory authority has to be informed and also, if necessary, the authority in charge of public safety.

4 Source Replacement Volume 2 Radiation Exposure during Source Replacement It is important to calculate the potential radiation exposure before mounting or dismantling point or rod sources. An exact calculation is possible using the equation below. The anticipated working hours should be split up in work in the direct vicinity of the shielding during mounting and dismantling the source holders and work with the unshielded source while fixing and dismantling the source and the source holder.

Page 281 One-point calibration is also advisable if only calibration points with very minor density differences can be recorded; in this case minor errors in the lab or during sampling will significantly affect the curve. Uni-Probe LB 491 3 – 281 Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG...
Page 282 6 Explanations Volume 3 Influence of an incorrect absorption coefficient The curve obtained with one-point calibration always passes through the calibration point. The gradient of the curve is deter- mined by the entered absorption coefficient and may therefore be somewhat inaccurate. Figure 6-4 illustrates the effect an inaccurate coefficient may have on the calibration.
Page 283 To avoid calibration errors, the product temperature is stored in the Uni-Probe LB 491. When cal- culating the calibration curve, the entered laboratory value is cor- rected using the temperature coefficient.
Page 284 6 Explanations Volume 3 This correction is carried out only if – Temperature compensation has been enabled (see section 2.22 on page 3–213) – at least one temperature coefficient has been entered (see section 2.22 on page 3–213). The corrected lab values based on which the calibration curve is calculated are displayed after the coefficients and the square error, if temperature compensation has been enabled for calibration.

Page 438: Calibration Modes
7 Explanations Volume 5 Calibration Modes The Uni-Probe LB 491 offers five calibration modes: 1. One-point calibration This type of calibration can be used in many applications. You have to enter or measure the absorption coefficient, the length of the absorption path and one calibration point. You should chose this calibration mode if –...
Page 439 One-point calibration is also advisable if only calibration points with very minor density differences can be recorded; in this case minor errors in the lab or during sampling will significantly affect the curve. Uni-Probe LB 491 5 – 439 Berthold Technologies GmbH & Co. KG...
Page 440 7 Explanations Volume 5 Influence of an incorrect absorption coefficient The curve obtained with one-point calibration always passes through the calibration point. The gradient of the curve is deter- mined by the entered absorption coefficient and may therefore be somewhat inaccurate. Figure 7-4 illustrates the effect an inaccurate coefficient may have on the calibration.
Page 441 To avoid calibration errors, the product temperature is stored in the Uni-Probe LB 491. When cal- culating the calibration curve, the entered laboratory value is cor- rected using the temperature coefficient.
Page 442 7 Explanations Volume 5 This correction is carried out only if – Temperature Compensation has been enabled in the device configuration (see chapter 4.2.14 on page 5–373) – at least one temperature coefficient has been entered. The corrected lab values based on which the calibration curve is calculated are displayed after the coefficients and the square error, if temperature compensation has been enabled for calibration.

Page 444: Measurement Of Suspensions
7 Explanations Volume 5 Measurement of Suspensions Clear correlation of density and concentration is possible only if • liquid density • solid density are constant. Density or concentration measurements of suspensions can be car- ried out in these units: 1. Density in g/cm 2.
