Apparatus for analyzing free-flowing material
First Claim
1. In an apparatus for analyzing flowable material in intermittent sequence;
- comprisinga. a hollow dosing sphere having an inlet, an outlet and a predetermined inner volume for forming samples of constant volume of the material introduced into said hollow dosing sphere through its inlet;
b. a hollow radiation sphere having an inlet operatively connected to the outlet of said hollow dosing sphere and an outlet;
c. a radiation source supported within and centrally with respect to said hollow radiation sphere for a homogeneous activation of the sample introduced into said hollow radiation sphere from said hollow dosing sphere;
d. a hollow measuring sphere having an inlet operatively connected to the outlet of said hollow radiation sphere and an outlet;
e. a detector arranged in said hollow measuring sphere for sensing the activity of the irradiated sample introduced into said hollow measuring sphere from said hollow radiation sphere; and
f. material guide means for combining said hollow dosing sphere, said hollow radiation sphere and said hollow measuring sphere into a structural unit.
