Conclusions
Investigations were completed as a result of which we confirmed the advantages of using radioisotope control of refractory material levels. We have introduced 10 units on industrial sites at the Bogdanovich Factory.
During operation of the γ-relay we demonstrated its advantages and reliability when used in automatic control circuits for refractory materials levels compared with other instruments. The greatest effectiveness can be achieved by using γ-relays in circuits which not only perform the functions of automatic control, but carry out automatic adjustment of technological processes.
