Description

The measurement is based on the reflection of 241Am gamma radiation. The device consists of three main components which have the following functions: (1) continuous measurement of the wall thickness; (2) movement of the measuring probe around the pipe in order to sense every point of the circumference; and (3) processing of the measuring signal for automatic control of the wall thickness. The application of the gage to automation and on-line control is briefly described
