Kurstedt, H A; Lorenz, R S

The report describes work done on the incombustibles meter - a portable gage that measures the percent of incombustible content in a coal-mine-dust sample. The gage uses a low-energy gamma-ray backscatter technique that indicates the average atomic number of the sample, and hence, the percent of the incombustible content. For the most part, the results from this instrument checked within plus or minus 3% of the laboratory results. (Author) (GRA)
