METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPROVING TOMOGRAPHIC DETERMINATIONS, PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR INSPECTION OF STEEL REINFORCEMENT BARS IN CONCRETE STRUCTURES

摘要

A method and arrangement for improving tomographic determinations by means of radiation, specially suitable for steel bars in concrete. The method comprising irradiating said body with penetrating radiation, recording said radiation transmitted through said body in recording means; providing a reference system with a plurality of independently identified and individualized reference elements made of a high density radiation-absorbent material, such reference elements being arranged in an orderly manner; identifying the above mentioned measurements; determining irradiation times; and determining the position and size of objects within a body based on the information recorded on the recording means used for measurement.
