ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for inspecting a wall to evaluate the remaining thickness of the wall as well as the extent to which the wall has been infiltrated by another material. The disclosure discusses directing photons of radiation and/or neutrons into the wall and measuring and analyzing the radiation emitted from the wall as a result of Compton scattering, pair production, photoelectric absorption and/or neutron absorption. The invention is particularly well suited for inspecting a carbon hearth-wall liner of an iron-smelting blast furnace.
