Abstract

Nuclear gauges and method of configuration and methods of calibrations of the nuclear gauges are provided. The nuclear gauges are used in measuring the density and / or moisture of construction-related materials. The nuclear gauge can include a gauge housing having a vertical cavity therethrough and at least one radiation detector located within the housing. The nuclear gauge can include a vertically moveable source rod and a radiation source operatively positioned within a distal end of the source rod.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] The presently disclosed subject matter claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial Nos. 61 / 010,103, 61 / 010,022, and 61 / 010,191, all filed January 4, 2008. The aforementioned Provisional Patent Application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The subject matter generally relates to instruments and methods for determining density and / or moisture of materials, and more particularly to nuclear gauges for measuring density and / or moisture of construction materials. Background technique [0004] Nuclear radiation measuring instruments are widely used in the determination of the density and moisture content of soil and asphalt materials or other construction materials. As used herein, construction material refers to any material used in the construction of roads or foundation works, including but not limited to: soil, asphalt, asphalt-like materials, concrete, compo...
