Abstract

An apparatus for analyzing flowable material in intermittent sequence comprises a hollow dosing sphere having a predetermined inner volume for forming samples of constant volume of the material introduced thereinto; a hollow radiation sphere connected to the outlet of the hollow dosing sphere; a radiation source supported within and centrally with respect to the hollow radiation sphere for a homogeneous activation of the sample introduced thereinto from the hollow dosing sphere; a hollow measuring sphere connected to the outlet of the hollow radiation sphere; and a detector arranged in the hollow measuring sphere for sensing the activity of the irradiated sample introduced thereinto from the hollow radiation sphere.
