The FQG61 source capsule contains the radiation source and is used for radiometric limit detection as well as continuous level and density measurement. The radiation is emitted almost without attenuation in only one direction and is shielded in all other directions, ensuring maximum personnel safety and reliable measurement.
Benefits
Lightweight source capsule with near-spherical design for excellent shielding
Safe and convenient source replacement.
Meets the highest safety class (DIN 25426/ISO 2919, typical category C66646).
One-piece source capsule, simple installation.
Various radiation angles for optimum application results
Manual or pneumatic opening and closing
Switch position fixed by padlock, cylinder lock or safety bolt
Applications
Used to house the radiation source during radiometric limit detection, continuous level measurement and density measurement. The radiation is unattenuated in only one direction and damped in all other directions.
Activity: 137Cs... 18.5 GBq (500 mCi), 60Co ... 0.74 GBq (20 mCi)
Temperature: unrestricted (non-immersed, external measurement)
Pressure: unrestricted (non-immersed, external measurement)
