  • Method for recalibrating nuclear density gauges
    Patent number: 4587623
    Abstract: A method for recalibrating nuclear density gauges comprises the taking of count rate data from two calibration blocks, preferably magnesium and aluminum, for each source depth position of the gauge and thereafter computing new values for constants A and C in a standard working exponential equation for the gauge:CR=A exp (-BD)-C.

  • Radiation scatter apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4525854
    Abstract: A radiation scatter gauge includes multiple detector locations for developing separate and independent sets of data from which multiple physical characteristics of a thin material and underlying substrate may be determined. In an illustrated embodiment, the apparatus and method of the invention are directed to determining characteristics of resurfaced pavement by nondestructive testing. More particularly, the density and thickness of a thin asphalt overlay and the density of the underlying pavement may be determined.
