Title: Apparatus for measuring the thickness of sheet material
Inventor: FEARNSIDE KENNETH
IPC: G01N23/16
Filed: 1949-11-03
Abstract: 677,451. Measuring thickness using radioactivity. MINISTER OF SUPPLY. Nov. 1, 1950 [Nov. 3, 1949], No. 28231/49. Class 40 (iii). Apparatus for measuring the thickness of sheet material includes two radiation detectors, e.g. ionization chambers, so connected that their discharge currents pass in opposite directions through a common load resistance, a measuring device influenced by the resultant current in the load resistance and means for supporting radioactive material to influence the detectors. In a preferred form the two chambers 1 and 2 may be connected in series between line 20 at 150 v. above earth potential and line 21 at 150 v. below earth potential. The common load is provided by one of resistors R<SP>1</SP>, R2, R<SP>3</SP> selected by switch 25 to give the desired sensitivity and the voltage across it fed to the grid of valve V<SP>1</SP> having a high input impedance. The amplified output is applied through cathode-follower stage V<SP>2</SP> and time delay switch 26 to centre-zero meter 27. Resistor R<SP>10</SP> is included in the circuit to provide negative feed-back and so improve linearity and stability. It may also provide a voltage across the input of a recording device 28. A condenser may be provided in the input circuit of V<SP>1</SP> to adjust the time constant of the response and prevent flutter. To produce sheet material of standard thickness a piece of standard sheet is placed between a suitable source of radiation (e.g. beta rays in the case of organic materials or soft gamma rays for metal sheet) and one ion chamber and the sheet being produced is passed between the same or a similar source and the other chamber. The device is biased so that the meter 27 gives a zero reading with the correct thickness of sheet and an operator controls the sheet thickness to maintain this zero reading. The thickness of coatings may similarly be maintained constant by passing the uncoated and coated strip past the two chambers respectively.
