3.4 Application Area
The SHLD 2 is a source holder designed for shielding radioactive sources such
as Cs-137. The radioactive source in the source container emits gamma rays.
The SHLD 2 is mounted on the vessel, the pipeline, or on a conveyor belt/spiral
conveyor directly opposite the sensor.
The source container shields the environment against gamma radiation and
protects the radioactive source against mechanical damage or chemical
influences. In case of large measuring ranges (e.g. with
high vessels) two or
more source holders are used.
The SHLD 2 consists of the components:
