Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses the Activity Optimized Source (AOS) used for measuring mould levels in steel production. It highlights the benefits of improved accuracy in the upper measuring range, which enhances steel quality without increasing total source activity.

Specifications and Features
  • Best accuracy at the operating point with calm level signal and short response time.
  • Cost-effective with small shieldings and low dose rates.
  • Improved precision at unchanged source activity or reduced source activity at unchanged precision.

Reduced Activity
The AOS allows for significant reduction in source activity based on mould size and conditions, enabling the use of smaller and more cost-effective shielding materials like lead instead of tungsten.

Improved Accuracy
Precision is enhanced by redistributing activity from the lower to the upper part of the source, which is crucial during normal casting operations. This maintains constant overall source activity while improving casting accuracy.

Graphical Data
The document includes graphs comparing variations in count rate and level signal between AOS and standard sources, demonstrating the stability and accuracy of AOS.

AOS - Activity Optimized Source-2

The Activity Optimized Source (AOS) is used for the measurement of mould level. The advanced source distribution offers a significant increase of the accuracy in the upper part of the measuring range – where the improved accuracy has very positive effects on the steel quality. The optimized activity distribution accomplishes these enhancements without increasing the total source activity. Alternatively, when the accuracy is to remain unchanged, the source activity can be reduced by several factors. Especially when installed on small moulds, the AOS is highly efficient in terms of shielding costs...
