ENDRESS + Hauser has released the Gammapilot M FMG60 for radiometric measurement to help reduce radioactive source activity for compliance with ARPANSA.
Radiometric measurement is commonly used for determining density, continuous level and level limits.
Endress + Hauser claims its Gammapilot M FMG60 scintillation detector has high sensitivity, allowing clients to reduce the required radioactive source activity.
Even with low radiation levels, the Gammapilot M FMG60 scintillation detector is said to have a high pulse rate for signal evaluation.
Due to the security risk involved in the use of radiation sources, operators need to comply with the ARPANSA Code of Practice RPS11 for the Security of Radioactive Sources.
If the radiation source used as high enough activity to be considered high risk, the Code of Practice stipulates additional security measures must be implemented for the storage, possession, use and transport of the radiological material.
According to Endress + Hauser, these measures can involve significant operation expense, and non-compliance can result in fines. By lowering the category of risk for the radioactive source material, clients will be able to comply with RPS11 with less cost.
