3660 CoreReader™

The Model 3660 CoreReader™ uses advanced gamma ray technology to determine Bulk Specific Gravity and density of test specimens. Automatic process used eliminates operator errors associated with current labor-intensive test methods and the user can perform other laboratory tasks at the same time since monitoring the test progress is not necessary. Bulk Specific Gravity determinations are no longer estimations or approximations, but actual measurements based on the material properties of the test specimen.

The operator inputs the height of the specimen and the CoreReader automatically measures and displays Bulk Specific Gravity (Gmb) and density of the test sample. If the operator enters a Maximum Specific Gravity value, the air void content is also calculated and displayed.

CoreReader Exempt from Licensing
Because of the extremely small amount of radioactive material in the Model 3660 CoreReader, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has determined that the gauge is exempt from all NRC and Agreement State radioactive material regulations. This means that:

No radioactive material license required to possess or use the CoreReader

No special radiation safety training required

No leak testing of sealed sources required

No radiation monitoring required

No restrictions of any kind

Troxler is proud that the CoreReader is the first and only nuclear gauge on the market that has been approved for exempt distribution.
