Monitor keeps watch over radiation levels
The CMS-Gamma-SIL continuous monitoring station is top of the range of a new generation of area and environmental monitoring systems.
It's the scales that count
A new range of industrial counting scales suits the needs of a variety of industries where parts counting is essential for inventory control, packaging checks and component handling.
Alarming performance from weighing scales
Adam Equipment has introduced a new range of industrial weighing scales to suit the needs of a wide variety of industries from building supplies to electronics manufacturing.
The typical stack monitoring installation will use flow proportional gas sampling, using either an insertable Pitot tube or a Pitot tube array, to monitor the exhaust gas flow.
Isokinetic sample tubes will be designed and mounted, possibly in a special section of ductwork with the flow measurement and flow conditioning grid, and Lab Impex will provide the necessary installation and commissioning service.
Associated sample extraction pumps, flow measurement and sample monitoring equipment is mounted in a specially designed cabinet, with recorders and remote signalling to interface with the plant control system.
Typically radioactive airborne particulates would be monitored by the Lab Impex microprocessor based CMS2000 Alpha and Beta Continuous Air Monitor, field proven on most nuclear installations in the UK, and used for monitoring of ALARA exposure levels.
Other detectors are available for radiometric monitoring, including Iodine 129 and Krypton.
After such analysis, the sample stream is returned to the main exhaust duct.
This new venture extends the capability of Lab Impex Systems further into the custom engineering of radiation hazard monitoring for laboratories, power plants and research establishments worldwide.
