Research on improving measurement stability of mine-used X-ray nuclear scale

Abstract

In order to improve measurement stability of mine-used X-ray nuclear scale, specific methods were given from two aspects of explosion-proof X-ray source and measurement zero point. Energy and intensity of X-ray which are output from X-ray source are monitored by X-ray detector, and the monitored X-ray parameters are received by monitoring network module which is installed in X-ray source. By comparing the monitored X-ray parameters with the set X-ray parameters, tube voltage and tube current of the explosion-proof X-ray source are controlled to keep stable of X-ray parameters. Source intensity zero point is defined by average value of the tube voltage and the tube current of the explosion-proof X-ray source. X-ray parameters are collected in real time through the X-ray detector and compared with measurement zero point and the source intensity zero point, so as to adjust the measurement zero point and the source intensity zero point to overcome influence of conveyor condition change and X-ray tube aging on the measurement zero point. The test result shows that the methods can effectively improve X-ray stability and ensure measurement stability of mine-used X-ray nuclear scale.
