Containers for radioactive compounds
Description
The shielding containers ABSxx and SH-xx are radiation source containers, which consist of a stainless steel housing filled with lead.
The corresponding radiation source - a metal capsule made of sintered radioactive material - is fixed in the radiation outlet channel of the shielding container by means of a radiator holder.
Shielding containers of the ABSxx type are used as spotlights in various applications (e.g. density, limit level).
Shielding containers of the SH-xx type are only used for radiometric belt scales due to their special design with a fan-shaped beam.
Important note
For industrial applications must be used so-called enclosed radiation sources.
The radioactive substance is used in one or more tightly welded stainless steel capsules. which is then installed in a shield
This shielding must meet these requirements:
● The radiation that is still to be measured outside the container must be reduced to a value that is harmless to the operating personnel.
● The beam exit channel must be securely closable for transport, assembly and maintenance work.
● The protection of the built-in radiation capsule against mechanical damage, environmental influences and unauthorized removal must be guaranteed permanently.
