Beta Gauges

 

 

Beta gauges consist of an extraction device, transport tubing, beta detector, and flow meter. They are used by non-destructive testing (NDT) services, and in applications such as the monitoring of particulates from wet stacks. The absorption of Beta particles can also be used to measure the thickness of materials or coatings. For nonmetallic materials such as paper, plastic films, or webs, Beta gauges transmit radiation through the material. A radiation or Geiger-Muller detector that is located on the other side of the device measures radiation levels. With coated metallic materials, the radiation or Geiger-Muller detector is located on the same side, and backscattered radiation is measured.
