NUCLEAR GAGE STANDARDIZATION PROCEDURE

THIS STUDY WAS INTENDED TO DEVELOP A STATISTICAL PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING NUCLEAR GAGE RELIABILITY IN THE FIELD. THE STUDY SHOWS THAT CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE EXISTING TEST METHOD ARE INEFFECTIVE AT DETECTING GAGE MALFUNCTIONS BEFORE SIZABLE ERROR HAS BEEN INCURRED. A NEW PROCEDURE HAS BEEN DEVELOPED, RESEMBLING THE PRESENT METHOD, BUT ELIMINATING SECTIONS SELDOM UTILIZED AND INCORPORATING PARAMETERS MORE SENSITIVE TO STANDARD COUNT VARIATION. APPLICATION OF THIS PROCEDURE WILL GIVE THE OPERATOR A MORE RELIABLE MEANS OF DETECTING A GAGE IN NEED OF REPAIRS AND INSURE TEST RESULTS CONTAINING ONLY AN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF SYSTEMATIC ERROR.
