TRACER TECHNIQUES IN THE FINNISH INDUSTRY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4261019
Since 1954 the use of tracers for industrial investigations has gained a wide interest and has been adopted to solve a great variety of different problems with immediate practical interest. Radioactive tracer methods were first used in Finland to check the wear of blast furnace linings. An extensive study is still under progress. The information so far gained has proved to be of considerable economic value. Several investigations of various types of mixing have been carried out, and quantitative information was obtained on deviations from the desired pattern. Mixing studies were carried out with raw meal basins and silos in the cement industry, bleaching towers and machine chests in sulfite pulp mills, and glass works furrtaces. The tests resulted in constructional improvements. (C.H.)
