Fig. 5: Installation possibilities - Density measurement or concentration meas-
urement
1a Radial raditiona - vertical mounting
1b Axial radiation - Horizontal mounting or when the lead cover is used as
protection against ambient radiation
2 Inclined radiation for extention of the radiated length (L)
3 Extension of the radiated length (L) by adding a tube angle piece as meas-
uring distance
4 Integrated lead cover as protection against ambient radiation - the instru-
ment is hence shielded laterally
Withdensitymeasurement,theradiationdierencewithdiering
densityisverylow.Especiallywithsmalltubediameters,thechange
is negligible.
ThereforeitisimportanttoshieldfrominterferingX-rayradiation.To
protecttheinstrumentagainstX-rayradiation,itcanbebeequipped
withanoptionalleadring.Alaterretrottingoftheleadringisnot
possible.
