HAW TO NUCLEAR GAUGES IN ROAD MATERAL TESTING, CALIBRATION, ACCURTE USE RADIATION SAFETY

22-24 November  2004 -9-11 Shawwal  1425

 

Course Objective

The course is designed to enrich the participant's knowledge of the accurate usage of the Nuclear Gauges. Also, it will cover the safety methods of using the Nuclear Gauges. As a brief definition, the Nuclear Gauge uses the Air Gap Ratio method to achieve a unique combination of accuracy and safety in testing. The Air Gap method uses the ratio of two reading: one in contact with the surface, the other two inches above the surface. Air Gap dramatically reduces errors due to: material type, high surface temperature, side effect, and other field conditions. It provides accurate test results in asphalt, soils, and concrete. Also, it provides an excellent alternative to the direct transmission method in soils, and is of particular advantage in large granular and other hard materials where it may be difficult to make an access hole for the direct transmission method. The major content of this course will be as following:
