When the source holder's shutter is opened, an invisible beam of radiation is directed at the material being processed. A detector mounted opposite the source measures the radiation that passes through the material.

Les jauges fixes sont le plus souvent utilisées dans les usines pour vérifier un procédé de production et s'assurer du contrôle de la qualité. [...] Ces jauges fixes comprennent une source radioactive logée dans un porte-source et sont placées à une étape précise du procédé. Lorsque l'obturateur du porte-source s'ouvre, un faisceau invisible de rayonnements est dirigé sur le matériau en cours de traitement. Un détecteur placé à l'opposé de la source mesure les rayonnements qui passent à travers le matériau. Un indicateur sur la jauge ou sur un terminal relié enregistre les renseignements nécessaires [...] 2, record 1, French, - jauge%20fixe
