Information
Radiation source container with sliding source support rod for manual or pneumatic on/off switching
Encloses the radioactive source used for radiometric point level detection, level and density measurement. Operating with very high sensitivity rod scintillation detectors, provide lowest possible radiation loads in the surrounding.
Used if the shielding effectiveness of smaller source containers (FQG61/62) are too low
Activity: 137Cs 740GBq (20,000mCi), 60Co to 185GBq (5,000mCi)
Process temperature: No limitation (extraneous)
Process pressure: No limitation (extraneous)
High safety level thanks to highest safety classification for the source supplied (DIN 25426/ISO 2919, typically classification C66646) and simple and easy source replacement
Extremely high shielding ensures that no control areas are generally required and that installation in accessed areas is possible
Additional metallic protective capsule with O-ring seal to protect the source against mechanical and chemical influences
Low space requirement and simple mounting and various angles of emission for optimum adaption to the application
Padlock for fixation the on/off switch position and to protect against theft
Easy identification of switch status through sight glasses on the cover or by remote display with proximity switches
