Typical applications are X-ray or gamma densitometers and X-ray gauges for measuring thickness. Gamma densitometers are widely used in several industries: for straight forward process measurement of density or concentration, or for detecting flaws in solid products. A gamma densitometer can also be combined with other sensors to give a very accurate mass flow measurement for two-phase or multi-phase flows. Gamma and X-ray gauging are widely used for measuring the thickness of metal in strip rolling mills (Thurning Instruments Ltd does not sell detectors for metal rolling, please contact our partners, </I></FONT><A HREF="Dmeters.htm#Steel"><I><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#0000ff">Friedrich Vollmer Feinmeßgerätebau,GmbH</I></FONT></A><I><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2> for more information) and in other industries that produce "web" products.</P> <P>A densitometer or thickness gauge using a Thurning RMS1000 or RMS2000 detector is capable of outstanding resolution with a very fast response time. They are used in the most demanding processes such as measuring the density of of high-velocity multi-phase flow, and gauging web products that are moving at 100 km/h or faster.</P> <P>Thurning Instruments Ltd. also offer consultancy and design services in the fields of electronics, measurement and advanced process control. We specialise in very low noise analogue electronics but we can also offer competitive rates for general electronic design, included microprocessor based systems and power supplies.</P></I></FONT> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="line1.gif" WIDTH=623 HEIGHT=7></P> <I><FONT SIZE=1><P>Last updated 13-9-2000</P> <P>If you have any comments on the THURNING web site please contact </I></FONT><A HREF="mailto:rfortescue@thurning-instruments.co.uk"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=1>Richard Fortescue</FONT></A><IMG SRC="http://www.ndirect.co.uk/cgi-bin/counter.cgi?df=rfortescue-19.dat|sh=F"></P> </BODY>
