    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 62598:2011 applies to the manufacture and installation of electrical measuring systems and instruments utilizing radioactive sources (radiometric gauges, hereinafter called gauges). It also applies to source housings intended for use in the aforementioned measuring systems. This standard applies to equipment, which is not related to power production or to the fuel cycle. It specifies constructional requirements for the design of instruments utilizing radioactive sources in regard of radiation protection. This standards cancels and replaces IEC 60405.
