Model 3440-L G–3
G. 3440 SPECIFICATIONS
CALIBRATION SPECIFICATIONS
Uncertainty of density standards: ±0.2%
Uncertainty of moisture standards: ±2.0%
Calibration standards range
Density: 109 – 165 pcf (1750 – 2640 kg/m
3
)
Moisture: 0 – 40 pcf (0 – 640 kg/m
3
)
Gauge operational range
Density: 70 – 170 pcf (1100 – 2700kg/m
3
)
Moisture: 0 – 40 pcf (0 – 640 kg/m
3
)
Method: Computer reduction of count rate data based on U.S. National
Bureau of Standards Electron Cross Sections, Neutron Cross Sections,
and Absorption Coefficients. Data is reduced to the form D =
(1/B)1n(A/(CR + C)) for density and M = (CR – E)/F for moisture
where A, B, C, E, and F are constants and CR is count ratio. The
algorithm corrects for hydrogen photon-scattering coefficients and
provides means for offsetting non-water hydrogen. Direct calibration
entry by keypad.
