Non-nuclear X-ray backscatter gauge

NDC Infrared has announced the model 318 XRB sensor - a non-nuclear X-ray backscatter gauge designed as an alternative to GBS and beta sensors.

The X-ray sensor offers good measurement range, single-sided operation and low installation costs. Its performance rivals that of nuclear-based beta and gamma gauges but without the ongoing issues associated with isotopic gauges, like source wipes and/or disposal.

The XRB features a much wider operating weight/thickness range than comparable isotopic gauges and because its high voltage is precisely regulated, it provides good measurement stability.

The sensor provides measurement performance that meets or exceeds the requirements of plastics extrusion, converting, calendering, paper, non-wovens and textile applications.
