Source container with source insert for manual or pneumatic switch-ON/switch-

OFF

Application

The FQG61 and FQG62 source containers are designed to hold the radioactive source

during radiometric point level measurement, continuous level measurement and

density measurement. The radiation is emitted almost unattenuated in one direction

only, and is damped in all other directions. FQG61 and FQG62 differ from each other

in terms of size and screening effect.

Your benefits

• Lightweight device provides best possible screening thanks to almost spherical

design

• Safe and easy source replacement

• Highest safety classification for the source supplied (DIN 25426/ISO 2919, typical

classification C66646)

• Compact device that is easy to mount

• Various angles of emission for optimum adaptation to the application

• Manual or pneumatic switch-ON/switch-OFF

• Padlock, cylinder lock or locking bolt for fixing the switch position

• Switch state easily identified

• Fire-resistant v821 °C (+1510 °F) / 30 minutes
