The FQG60 source container holds a radioactive source and is used for radiometric limit detection as well as continuous level and density measurement. The radiation is emitted almost unattenuated in only one direction and is shielded in all other directions, ensuring maximum personal safety and reliable measurement.
Advantages
Small size and low weight, providing optimum shielding
Radioactive source of the highest safety class (DIN 25426/ISO 2919, typical classification C66646)
Fire-resistant 821°C / 30 minutes
Integrated device for convenient installation
Multiple radiation angles for optimum application results
Integrated installation device for pipe density measurement
Manual opening and closing
Application
The FQG60 source container is used to house the radioactive source during radiometric limit detection and continuous level and density measurement. The radiation is emitted almost unattenuated in only one direction and is shielded in all other directions.
