Today, many industries use equipment such as nuclear measuring gauges that incorporate a radioactive source. These nuclear gauges provide an inexpensive, yet highly reliable and accurate method of measuring the thickness, density, or make-up of a wide variety of material or surfaces. There are two types of nuclear gauges, fixed and portable. 1, record 2, English, - nuclear%20measuring%20gauge

À l'heure actuelle, plusieurs industries utilisent des jauges nucléaires qui contiennent une source radioactive. Ces jauges fournissent un moyen économique et pourtant extrêmement fiable et exact de mesurer l'épaisseur, la densité ou la composition d'un vaste éventail de matériaux et de surfaces. Il existe deux genres de jauges nucléaires, les fixes et les portatives. 2, record 2, French, - jauge%20nucl%C3%A9aire
