Sagel, K

Radioactive isotopes are being employed to an increasing extent for process engineering applications. Typical uses are for radiation sources in radiochemistry and radiography, gaging the thickness of sheet metal and paper, measuring liquid level of containers and the density of liquids, checking the volume of suspended matter and mixtures, and locating leaks in pipes. As tracers, isotopes are also used for controlling separating and blending processes; checking filters and precipitators; examining reaction mechanisms; determining reaction kinetic values through exchange reactions; measuring the specific surface of powders; investigating friction, corrosion, and diffusion; and for various techniques used in radiochromatography.
