Abstract

An apparatus for contactless measurement of the thickness of a sheet material comprises a radioactive source located in a protective container which has a collimating hole to output a flow of radiation. There is a radiation detector to sense the radiation passed through the material under control, which is electrically connected to a radiation intensity meter, and also compressed air means for delivery of a jet of compressed air to the measurement point.
