Abstract

See full text

An industrial inspection device uses measurements at two x-ray energy to measure the relative proportions of two materials of a binary industrial composition by determining a mass ratio of a preselected selected first and second material expected to be in the binary composition and such as would provide a photoelectric absorption and Compton scattering consistent with the attenuation of the x-rays at the first and second energy. A relative proportion at different locations can be used to develop an image of one basis material. The image can be used to determine whether a product has an unacceptable composition or inclusions of foreign bodies.
