People Also Ask about

What is the minimum distance you should keep unauthorized users away from a gauge?

Although the annual radiation exposure limit allowed when working around these gauge is 5000 millirem (5rem), in reality, a worker will typically receive far less than 100 millirem in a year.

What is a moisture density gauge used for?

Nuclear moisture density gauges have been in use for over thirty years. They offer the user a quick and accurate means of determining density and moisture content of soils, asphalt, rooftops and concrete and they all essentially use the same design and basic approach to determining these measurements.

How much radiation is from a nuclear gauge?

Because it contains small amounts of radioactive material, a nuclear gauge qualifies as a hazardous material under Hazard Class 7.

What type of license is issued for a moisture density gauge?

The dose rate from a single Troxler moisture-density gauge at a distance of 15 feet is generally less than 0.05 mrem per hour, thus a person exposed at that distance for 40 hours per week for 50 weeks per year (i.e., 2000 hours) would receive a dose of less than 100 mrem in a year.

Are nuclear density gauges safe?

Nuclear gauges use radioactive sources to identify the thickness, density or make up of a wide variety of material or surfaces. These gauges, which are safe to use when the proper safety measures are followed, help people build safe buildings, roads, and make reliable products.

What is the safe distance from a nuclear density gauge?

Americium-241 (half-life: 432 yr): Used in backscatter gauges, smoke detectors, fill height detectors, and in measuring ash content of coal. Caesium-137 (30.17 yr): Used for radiotracer technique for identification of sources of soil erosion and deposition, as well as in density and fill height level switches.
