APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE THICKNESS OF A DEPOSIT

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4795606
A radiometric apparatas is designed for measuring deposit thicknesses. In this apparatus, a beam of beta rays is projected onto the deposit, and the excited x rays are detected in a frequency band including one of the x-ray characteristics of the deposit. The x-ray activity serves as an indication of the deposit thickness. A magnetic field is provided between the deposit and the detector means to block scattered beta rays. (D.L.C.)
