MEASUREMENT OF TINPLATE THICKNESS USING FLUORESCENT X-RAYS EXCITED BY A RADIOACTIVE SOURCE

Journal Article · · Brit. J. Appl. Phys.
Using tritium bremsstrahlung as an x-ray source and a thin-windowed scintillation counter as a detector, a method of measuring the thickness of tinplated steel over the range 0 to 1.55 mu (1.00 lb per basis box) was developed. The technique depends on absorption of the iron fluorescent x- radiation by the tin layer. An accuracy of 1% can be obtained with 95% confidence in a counting time of 30 sec. (auth)
