Portable Gauges(Direct Transmission)
The use of portable gauges is widespread in industries such as agriculture and construction. In Fig. 5, the gamma source is placed underneath the surface of the ground through a tube. Radiation is then transmitted directly to the detector on the bottom of the gauge, allowing accurate measurements of compaction.
