Industries:
To minimize raw material waste and improve product consistency, manufacturers of plastic products made of blown film and cast sheet/film (such as garbage bags, plastic sheets, etc.) use backscatter gauges to measure the thickness of product as it is being manufactured. Older nucleonic backscatter gauges, while useful, often fall short in performance, ease-of-use and cost of ownership. This is largely because these gauges use radioactive materials and their use requires compliance with government regulations. However, new solid-state backscatter gauges, using cold-cathode x-ray sources and Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors, promise to measure the thickness of film and cast sheet products more accurately, safely and economically.
