Neutron moisture gauges use californium-252 to find water and petroleum layers in oil wells, as a portable neutron source for gold and silver prospecting for on-the-spot analysis, and to detect ground water movement.
It also is used in industrial moisture density gauges, certain smoke detectors, and medical diagnostic devices.
Caesium-137 has been employed in a variety of industrial measurement gauges, including moisture, density, leveling, and thickness gauges.
Or in a grain silo, strategically scattered beans could assess temperature, moisture and CO2, to gauge potential problem areas before they develop.
The Vancouver dorm will be outfitted with motion sensors and moisture detectors as scientists gauge how the building endures perhaps its most brutal trial—housing 400 college students.
Each sensor gauges the moisture content below the surface and then tells the sprinkler system to turn on when it gets too dry and to shut off when the ground is wet enough.
Sap flow sensors, soil moisture sensors, throughfall and stemflow gauges were installed on and around eight trees.
The stream was also instrumented with a stream gauge, and six soil moisture sensors in the floodplain to gauge hydrologic cycles over time.
Public Works provided a PowerPoint presentation on the installation and location of rain gauges, video cameras and moisture sensors.
