Development and application of nuclear instrument for determination of composition of butter

Description

Instrument is described for the continious determination of water content in butter on the outlet of installation for its production. Water content is determined by means of measurement of three physical values: radiation absorption; dielectric constant and temperature. Radiation source of Am-241 with activity of 300 mCi is used in the instrument. Calibration of the instrument is done by means of determination of correlation between the composition of a sample, having been determined analytically and instrument's reading for the same sample. The instrument determines water content in butter in the limits of 12 - 24 weight percent and with accuracy less than 0.2 weight percent. Readings of the instrument is given in digital form and are registered by recording instrument
