Geiger- Muller Tube Measurement

21
 Radiation Measurement
1. The tube contains inert gas at low pressure.
2. The end of the tube is sealed by a mica 'window' thin enough to
allow Beta particles to pass into the tube.
3. When a charged particle or beta-radiation enters the tube, the inert
gas becomes ionized. This triggers a whole avalanche of ions between
the electrodes.
4. For a brief moment, the gas conducts and a pulse of current flows
in the circuit.

22
The ion chamber is a gas filled cylinder with an internal electrode.
High voltage (800 VDC) is impressed across the electrodes of the ion chamber.

When beta radiation enters the chamber, it will ionize some of the gas (knock outer electrons
free). Before the free electrons and ions can recombine, the electric field induced by the high
voltage causes them to move away from each other, toward the electrodes.

As the ions and electrons are collected on the electrodes, a small electric current is generated
in an external circuit. This current is amplified by an electrometer. The electrometer is
designed for sensing very low current flow, typically less than 10-8 amps

23
The ion chamber signal is converted into a transmission signal. Transmission is measured relative to a full scale signal. A
full scale signal is measured off-sheet with no process in the gap represents 100% transmission. Fractional transmission is
represented as:
T = I / Io
Equation 1-1 Fractional Transmission
where:
T = Fractional Transmission (.90 = 90%)
Io = Signal level detected off-sheet without process in the gap
I = Signal detected with process in the gap
As the process weight increases the fractional transmission (T) decreases
Sometimes T is expressed in PPT (parts per thousand). PPT equals fractional transmission times 1000; PPT = T * 1000.

The coil inductance, which varies as the gap is varied, sets the frequency of
an oscillator which is converted into a voltage. The output of the sensor is this 31

 Color Sensor
• The illuminator in the SCMM produces a high intensity light beam incident on the
process.
• Detectors measure the reflected radiation via the imaging spectrometer. The
resulting
• reflectance spectrum is normalized in the instrument then serially passed to the
Network Platform processing center (ASPC). The ASPC computes the various
color metric values from the spectrum. The ASPC then passes these color metric
values to a host computer for display and control purposes.
• The spectrophotometer is inside in the Smart Color Measurement Module (SCMM)
and is sealed from the external environment.
• The Smart Backing Tile Module (SBTM) is mounted opposing the SCMM. It uses a
Bernoulli effect air bearing to gently capture the process and establishes the
measurement plane. Specially engineered backing tiles are used to assure proper
sensor response. Some tiles are used for automatic sensor calibration and others
to determine process properties such as opacity (white and black tiles). The SBTM
controls operation of a “carousel” which presents the proper tile to the process
under commands sent by the ASPC.
• The SCMM and SBTM communicate over serial lines to the RS-485 PCI board in
the ASPC. 33

 SCMM
Major Components
• The primary components of the Smart Color Measurement Module SCMM are:
• The Optics module subassembly
• Color Power Board (CPWR)
• PTC Heater Module
• Replaceable Window
• Top Plate with Integrated CAP (Controlled Air Plenum)
• Air Driven Heat Exchangers and Thermistor
• Ferrite Target for the AutoFocus Subsystem
• Diagnostic LEDs
Operation
• The optics module contains the imaging spectrophotometer. It includes the illuminator
and
• electronics that produce the reflectance array.
• A microcontroller in the optics module is controlled by commands from the ABB Smart
Processing Center (ASPC). The reflectance array is communicated to the ASPC, and
• further processed into a color measurement by the ASPC.
• Other components in the SCMM control the temperature of critical components required
for precise color measurement.

 SBTM
Smart Backing Tile Module (SBTM)
Major Components
The SBTM (Smart Backing Tile Module) consists of:
• TSC, (Tile Side Controller) board with connector board
• SMI Daughter board (mounted on TSC board)
• Stepper motor/tile carousel/plunger subassembly
• PTC Heater module
• Heat exchanger plate
• AutoFocus sensing coil
• Fan, mounted inside TSC cover
• Air Bearing Hold Down

Operation
• The SBTM contains a rotating circular plate (carousel) having tiles mounted into the plate.
• Tiles are spring loaded, keeping them in a retracted position. An air cylinder plunger,
• located perpendicular to the circular plane, overcomes the spring tension driving the tile into the
measure position.
• A stepper motor drives the tiles to the proper position. The axis of the stepper motor is perpendicular
to the plane of the process. Optical pickups sense the rotational position of the tile wheel. A magnetic
sensor located on the cylinder senses position of the plunger in the air cylinder. These sensors are
used by the TSC microcontroller to test and verify the position of the tile and plunger. The entire
operation is coordinated by the microcontroller located in the SBTM.

New Color Sensor
• The sensor features a compact
modular design and has no moving
parts in the measurement module,
• thereby enhancing its reliability
with lower maintenance and
lifecycle costs
• Capable of taking up to 60
measurements per second from
the moving web
• traditional Xenon and Halogen
illumination sources replaced
• LEDs modulate between UV-
included and UV-excluded
illumination at high speed and
without the use of filters ontinuous
measurement
• This enables continuous UV-
corrected color measurements,
reducing color variation, and
improving laboratory correlation
• LEDs also provide a stable and
repeatable illumination leading to
better measurement stability

Slide 48
Color Sensor
• The illumination sources (A) comprise a
pair of high-intensity LEDs. One LED is
a broadband white emitter covering
most of the visible spectrum. A second
LED emits in the blue-UV spectral
region to stimulate fluorescent optical
brighteners – commonly called optical
brightening agents (OBAs) – to facilitate
measurements of fluorescent material.
• Light from the LED pair is diffused in an
integrating cavity (B). Light diverging
from this cavity if then focused by a
cylindrical mirror (C). This optical design
produces a 45° ‘cone’ of illumination to
a focus on the opposing backing tile
module (D) which stabilizes the moving
web during measurement using a
Bernoulli plate (E) and allows a set of
backing tiles (F) to be used to provide
an opaque backing for web
measurement or other tiles to be
mounted in the measurement beam for
off-sheet standardization. Light
scattered normal to the process is
reflected (G) into a grating spectrometer
(H). The color sensor also features an
integrated passline measurement (I).
This device uses an infrared LED
(outside color measurement
wavelengths) and dispersive optical
element to determine the passline by 49
the infrared wavelength reflected back
to the spectrometer (H).
