Dealing with radiation interference

The effects of inter­fer­ence radi­a­tion on radio­met­ric mea­sure­ments can be con­sid­er­able and must there­fore be con­trolled. As it is nei­ther pre­dictable when inter­fer­ence radi­a­tion will be present, nor how much the impact of a dis­tant NDT test­ing on a nucle­on­ic mea­sure­ment is, cus­tomers need a reli­able sys­tem that is auto­mat­i­cal­ly deal­ing with such events. Over time, the tech­nol­o­gy and phi­los­o­phy for deal­ing with inter­fer­ence radi­a­tion has evolved and become more sophisticated.

Berthold offers sophis­ti­cat­ed prod­ucts that man­age inter­fer­ence radi­a­tion and pro­vide the cus­tomer with a sta­ble and reli­able mea­sure­ment that ensures a con­tin­u­ous process, avoids unsched­uled shut­downs and there­fore gen­er­ate a real ben­e­fit for the cus­tomer. The fea­tures XIP (X‑Ray Inter­fer­ence Pro­tec­tion) or RID (Radi­a­tion Inter­fer­ence Dis­crim­i­na­tion) are used for this. We help plant oper­a­tors to get “RID” of prob­lems caused by inter­fer­ence radi­a­tion and in doing so, we make sure they are always in control.
