Thermal scanning, rigidity monitor

Figure 3-35 Schematic Diagram of a Thermal Scanning Rigidity Monitor (Okechukwu et al., 1991).

More simple is the monitoring of exposure to thermal load. In this case, only a small and rigid furnace must be moved as the sample cylinder is translated through the beam. Nevertheless, the necessity to scan the sample in the furnace by an X-ray beam must be considered in the design of the furnace.
