“…For measuring the density of the asphalt layer (thin lift) laid down on a repaved highway, a special gamma albedo gauge was developed by Dunn and Hutchinson [ 81 ]. A rather interesting example of radiometric gauging in the railway transport industries is gamma-ray albedo examination of railway ties (sleepers) for termite damage (Fookes et al [ 82 ]).…”

Photon and particle radiations (gamma rays, x rays, brems-strahlung, electrons and other charged particles, and neutrons) from radioactive isotopes, x-ray tubes, and accelerators are now widely used in gauging, production control, and other monitoring and metrology devices where avoidance of mechanical contact is desirable. The general principles of radiation gauges, which rely on detection of radiation transmitted by the sample, or on detection of scattered or other secondary radiations produced in the sample, are discussed. Examples of such devices currently used or at least shown to be feasible in industrial, transportation, building, mining, agricultural, medical, and other metrology situations are presented, drawing from a total of 146 selected technical and review paper reference sources here cited.
