Radioisotope Gauges for Industrial Process Measurements
暫譯: 工業過程測量用放射性同位素儀器

In order to fully utilise nucleonic measurement principles andtheir applications, it is important to have an understanding of theunderlying physics. Radioisotope Gauges for Industrial ProcessMeasurements combines theoretical background with practicalexperience in order to present an accessible overview of the use ofradioisotopes in industry. This unique book explains the modes ofoperation of installed gauges and presents nucleonic methodsrelevant to measurement problems. The first part of the book dealswith radiation sources, the interaction of radiation with matterand radiation detectors. The second part explains the differentmeasurement principles used for industrial gauges and the last partof the book covers industrial applications. This book also:
* Features a concise introduction to atomic and nuclearphysics.
* Presents a range of nucleonic measurement methods andhighlights their application to a variety of problems.
* Contains an overview of electronics, measurement accuracy, safety and standards.
* Considers processes and demands, design strategies andpractical realisation of measurement systems.
* Provides many practical engineering examples.

Offering a comprehensive coverage of engineering applications, this book is an essential tool for electrical, electronic andinstrument engineers in the oil and chemicals processing sectors.It is also a valuable reference to graduate students and physicistsinvolved in nuclear radiation measurement, medical applications, radiochemical research, environmental monitoring and chemicalengineering.
