Using radioisotope method for measuring ice layer thickness in pulp lines

[摘要] Operating hydro-transportation systems in Russia means challenges resulting from ice formation within pipelines when idle, and even during actual operation, thus some protection of pulp lines against freezing is a must. This work is devoted to the radioisotope method for ice layer thickness measuring on pipeline walls, which is now more and more often used in practice. This is a low cost method with units and parts easily replaceable, simple by design, non-interrupting the process.
