The FQG63 source container holds a radioactive source and is used for radiometric level, density and interface measurement. When the source container is closed, radiation is shielded in all directions, ensuring maximum personal safety and reliable measurement. When the source container is open and placed inside the process vessel, radiation is emitted in all directions.
Advantages
Nearly spherical design; the lightweight source container provides optimum shielding
Meets the highest safety class (DIN 25426/ISO 2919, typical classification C66646)
Flexible installation length, up to 30 m (98 ft)
Manual operation
Switch position secured by padlock or safety bolt
Easy identification of switch status
Integrated source container for simple installation, with adapter and centering flange for existing vessel flanges
Application
The FQG63 source container is used to house the radioactive source during radiometric limit detection and level, density and interface measurement. In the closed position the source is held in the container and the radiation path is closed. In the open position the source with its movable extension rod is placed in the protective pipe of the process vessel.
