RADIOMETRIC FILL LEVEL MEASURING DEVICE WITH REFERENCE SCINTILLATOR

A method for compensating a measurement deviation of a first scintillator and/or a photodetector of a radiometric fill level measuring device is provided, including detecting, by a second scintillator, radioactive emissions from the second scintillator; transmitting, in response to radioactive emissions, a first light signal from the first scintillator and a second light signal from the second scintillator, the first light signal being different from the second light signal; receiving, by the photodetector, the first light signal from the first scintillator and the second light signal from the second scintillator, and converting the light signals into electrical signals; comparing the electrical signals with deposited reference signals by means of a comparator; and adjusting the gain of the photodetector in response to comparing the electrical signals and stored reference signals. A radiometric fill level measuring device for fill level measurement, for density measurement, and/or for mass flow measurement is also provided.
