Technical Characteristics and Safety Engineering
-
Maximum Shielding Effectiveness: The FQG66 is engineered to provide extremely high attenuation in all non-measurement directions. This high level of shielding often means that “control areas” (restricted zones) are not required, allowing for installation in areas where plant personnel work regularly.
-
Dual Encapsulation Protection: In addition to the standard source capsule, the FQG66 includes a secondary metallic protective capsule with an O-ring seal. This double-layer protection shields the radioactive source from harsh mechanical impacts and chemical influences.
-
High Activity Capacity: Designed for the most challenging penetration tasks, it can hold sources powerful enough to measure through the thickest reactor walls, internal baffles, and the densest process media.
-
Versatile Emission Angles: To ensure the radiation beam perfectly matches the vessel’s geometry and the detector’s position, the FQG66 offers various emission angles, optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio.
-
Visual and Remote Status Monitoring: The ON/OFF switching status can be verified visually through sight glasses on the cover. For automated safety systems, remote display via proximity switches is also available to monitor the shutter position from the control room.
