Calculate Density
This functions as the processor of a gauge in calculating a density from a raw
count. Calculates the count ratio and uses the calibration counts to calculate
the density. Verification of field readings may be accomplished with using the
raw counts to check for operator-induced errors, (i.e. source position switch in
the wrong position) plug in the standard count and density count and calculate
the density. This function requires activation of the appropriate gauge serial
number in the Verifier software.
Gauge Management
Management: This option will allow you to manage your gauges more
effectively. The software will report the last verification date, the last calibration
date and the next leak test date. The data is sorted by the gauge’s Next Leak
Test date, and highlighted if the date is over six months for leak test and one
year for calibration.
Leak Test: The software will allow you to enter the last leak test date for each
gauge in the database. The software will keep up with this information and will
alert you of the next leak test date (six months) under the Management report
option. An overdue leak test will be highlighted in red.
Expected Standard Count: This calculation is based on the decay of the CS-137
gamma source. The limit on these standard counts is based on the gauge
manufacturer’s limit of ± 1% of the actual standard count. The software will
automatically access the most recent calibration date and standard counts for
the calculations. Note: Gauge counts may change due to many different
factors. Radioactive decay is the only variation that could be estimated
accurately and does not necessarily correct for all deviations in the gauge.
Notes: The notes function will allow you to document repairs and items used to
identify service trends or any gauge related information.
