Operating Instructions

Source container FQG60

Radiometric Level Measurement

Container with radiation source insert with manual 

switch-on and switch-off

Application

The FQG60 source container is designed to hold the radioactive source during 

radiometric level limit measurement, level measurement and density measurement. 

The radiation is emitted almost unattenuated in one direction only, and is damped in 

all other directions.
The FQG60 is suitable for 

137

Cs to 1.11 GBq (30 mCi). 

The FQG61, FQG62 or FQG66 devices areble for larger activities.
In the case of density measurement, it is suitable for pipe outer diameters ranging from 

48 to 273 mm (1.89 to 10.7 in).

Your benefits

• Small-size, lightweight device provides optimized screening

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

classification C66646)

• Fire-resistant version 821 °C (1510 °F)/ 30 minutes

• Compact device that is easy to mount

• Various angles of emission for optimum adaptation to the application

• Manual switch-on and switch-off (ON/OFF)

• Padlock to fix switching positions (ON/OFF), or snap hook to fix switching position 

ON

• Switch status easily identified

• Integrated mounting device for density measurement on pipes

• Optional: calibration plate for quick and easy density recalibration
