Abstract
A cylindrical vessel is provided with inlet and outlet tubes extending axis parallel, excentrically and diametrically opposed into the vessel from the top. The tubes have radial apertures and are closed on the bottom. A gamma ray detector sits also on the bottom. Blowing directly against the wall of the vessel is avoided and the resulting flow pattern is vortex-free and laminar to avoid stagnation zones.
Claims6
Measuring chamber of the flow-through type for fluids which may contain isotopes to be detected by way of radiation detection, comprising:
- a cylindrical vessel having a bottom and a top;
- an inlet tube connected to the top in eccentric relation to the cylindrical configuration of the vessel;
- an outlet tube also connected to the top and in eccentric relation to the cylindrical configuration of the vessel;
- said tubes being closed at their respective bottom ends and each being provided with a plurality of bores respectively as outlets and discharge openings into and from the interior of the vessel such that pressurized fluid under a steady-state condition will flow from said inlet tube to said outlet tube;
- and
- a radiation detector disposed in the vessel between the tubes.
