why gamma scan can't detect MTZ ??(Samiran pls help).
why gamma scan can't detect MTZ ??(Samiran pls help).
(OP)
Hi,
Do u remember my thread about Dehydration Performance Monitoring? U said gamma scan just told whether beds are lifted or not but won't tell anything about density profile. Vendor said they can detect dif density up to .00036 g/cc.
I cal from useful cap = 6lb/100lb bead == 0.015 lbH2O / in3 pore. Is it possible ?
Thank you
Nong

I didn't understand clearly your last statement. Pls clarify. I now understand neutron back scatter can identify moisture. However, both these methods will not work in very thick vessel walls. Pls verify with the vendor.

Vendor said gamma can detect change in intensity 5% which in theory it's able to detect density change up to 0.00036 g/cc inmaterial thickness 227cm ( dI/I*100 = -u*x*dP*100, u=0.036cm2/g, x=227,dI/I=0.05). Then I cal from bead properties can adsorb H2O 6lb/100lb bead, bulk den =0.8kg/lit, hence bead bulk vol 56.8 lit should ads H2O 6 lb = 0.048 g/CC ) Can I assume that density diff between dry and wet density = 0.048 g/cc so gamma are able to tell dens profile of bed. From equa, I wonder why the more thickness, the more diff density can detect ? Besides, my vessles thick 2" with insulator 3.5", I'm afraid it'll be a problem.
Thank you very much for your helps!
PS: Neutron backscatter has depth limited at 150 mm
