    α and β surface contamination monitors are crucial instruments for radiation safety monitoring, and the accuracy of their values is of paramount importance. In practical verification processes, these monitors often encounter various issues due to factors such as service life, operating environment, and usage conditions, leading to deviations in verification results or interruptions in the verification procedure. Based on statistical analysis of verification data from 2,613 α and β surface contamination monitors, this study found an overall disqualification rate of 8.8%. The primary reason for disqualification was identified as abnormal surface emission rate response, accounting for 66.23% of cases. This paper systematically analyzes the root causes of these problems and proposes a comprehensive set of maintenance recommendations covering whole-lifecycle management, standardized operation, performance maintenance, and personnel training. The aim is to provide references for the industry to enhance instrument management and ensure verification quality.
  • Experimental study on the influence of structural parameters of semi-infinite dynamic pressure probe tubing on its dynamic characteristics

    To improve the accuracy of dynamic pressure measurement in gas turbine combustors, this study investigates the influence of structural parameters of pressure tubing on its dynamic response characteristics, with emphasis on nonlinear behaviors under large-amplitude excitation. Based on the theory of acoustic wave propagation in pipelines, experiments were conducted using a modulated dynamic pressure generator to test pressure tubes with various lengths (20-200 mm) and diameters (2-6 mm). Results show that tube length dominates the phase lag, with phase difference proportional to the product of length and frequency. Reflection from the mounting seat is identified as the key factor causing resonance peaks in amplitude-frequency characteristics. The effect of diameter is governed by impedance matching: when the main tube diameter matches the fixed upstream and downstream sections, the system behaves as a transmission line with continuous impedance; when mismatched, the system becomes a resonator—small diameter (high impedance) excites high-frequency resonance, while large diameter (low impedance) excites low-frequency resonance. Under large-amplitude excitation, nonlinear effects further amplify the resonance peak of the small-diameter tube, resulting in gain exceeding unity—an abnormal amplification that deviates from classical linear acoustic theory. This study reveals the frequency-domain competition between linear dissipation and nonlinear resonance in the dynamic response of pressure tubes under large-amplitude conditions, providing guidance for the design and signal correction of high-precision dynamic pressure measurement systems.

    To solve the problems of low efficiency and high cost in detecting the vertical deviation of the phase center of GNSS receiver antennas, a measurement method utilizing a two-dimensional turntable is proposed. By analyzing the baseline repeatability under different observation durations, the optimal observation period is determined and statistically validated using an F-test. The two-dimensional turntable is automatically controlled to position the GNSS receiver and antenna for static observations at various azimuth and elevation angles. The vertical phase center offset of the GNSS antenna is derived through baseline processing, coordinate fitting, and geometric analysis. The repeatability of the vertical offset measurements is 0.6 mm, and the deviation from the NGS reference value is less than 1 mm, demonstrating high measurement accuracy and improved detection efficiency of the proposed method.

    The actual gum analyzer is a key instrument for determining the content of nonvolatile residue (gum) in light fuels such as gasoline and aviation fuel. By simulating the heating and evaporation conditions of the engine intake system, it accurately measures the colloid mass (unit: mg/100 mL) formed by fuel evaporation at a specific temperature and air flow rate. This index directly reflects the stability of fuel and the tendency to produce deposits. It is the core basis for evaluating the storage stability of fuel and judging whether it will lead to coking and blockage of engine intake system. It is widely used in quality control in the fields of oil refining, quality inspection, aviation and scientific research. The accuracy of the instrument depends on strict temperature, flow control and high-precision balance weighing, and it needs to be calibrated and verified by using standard materials regularly.

    A binocular structured-light measurement system involves a complex model, multiple error sources, and correlation coefficients that are difficult to determine, making it hard to accurately evaluate its measurement uncertainty using the conventional Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). To address this issue, an improved GUM method based on grey theory is proposed. First, the grey model GM(0,2) is employed for non-statistical evaluation of Type A uncertainty components, while Type B components are assessed by the traditional approach. Then, grey relational analysis is applied to quantify the correlations among error sources and to determine the corresponding correlation coefficients. Finally, the overall measurement uncertainty is synthesized within the GUM framework. Applied to a binocular structured-light measurement system, the proposed method yields a measurement uncertainty of 0.0934, demonstrating its reliability.

    In water environment monitoring, ammonia nitrogen (NH3—N) automatic analyzers are widely used for online determination of NH3—N concentrations in surface water. However, in practical verification and routine operation, limited repeated measurements due to time and efficiency constraints often result in insufficient sample sizes, posing challenges to uncertainty evaluation. This study applies an improved extremely small-sample grey uncertainty evaluation method to analyze the measurement uncertainty of indication errors of an ammonia nitrogen automatic analyzer, and compares the results with those obtained using the traditional Bessel formula. The proposed method significantly enhances the stability and reliability of uncertainty evaluation under small-sample conditions, providing important support for improving data quality and optimizing verification efficiency in ammonia nitrogen automatic monitoring.

    During the review process of metrological institution standardization assessments, it was observed that numerous municipal and county-level metrological institutions inadequately considered the influence components of uncertainty in the uncertainty evaluation of gas meter calibration devices. This reflects a lack of in-depth understanding among some laboratory personnel regarding the uncertainty influences of such devices. In particular, older devices, constrained by the technical and economic limitations of their time, are equipped with relatively simple supporting metrological equipment. This inevitably leads to more complex sources of uncertainty, which are often overlooked in practical evaluations. To address this issue, this paper systematically identifies and comprehensively considers various uncertainty influence components, using the uncertainty evaluation of gas meter calibration devices at the Hebei Institute of Metrological Supervision and Inspection as a case study. The aim is to provide a reference for relevant metrological institutions.

    Aiming at the problems of lagging thermal runaway warning and fragmented protection for lithium-ion batteries, this paper reviews the latest research progress of multi-modulus intelligent fusion and hierarchical linkage safety protection system. Firstly, the mechanism of “chain side reaction” of thermal runaway and its multi-physical field evolution characteristics are analyzed. Meanwhile, the sensing boundaries of multi-dimensional sensing technologies such as electrochemistry, temperature, pressure and gas detection are clarified. The core discussion focuses on the mechanism- and data-driven multi-modulus fusion algorithm, which solves the “black box” dilemma of traditional models, as well as the closed-loop of “four-level risk warning” and “five-layer protection architecture”. Research data show that after adopting multi-modulus fusion technology, the warning time can be advanced by more than 30 minutes, and the fault identification accuracy can reach more than 99%, which provides a new approach for the safety management of the full life cycle of lithium-ion batteries.

    To address the inefficiency and poor consistency caused by the separate measurement of compression depth and frequency using different equipment as stipulated in the current “JJF 1748—2019 Calibration Specification for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Machines”, this paper innovatively designs a pneumatic depth test bench. This bench utilizes the compressibility of confined gas to simulate the mechanical response of the human thoracic cavity and incorporates a guide shaft mechanism to significantly reduce the lateral swing error inherent in traditional spring-based structures. Centered around this test bench, this paper further develops an on-site calibration tester capable of simultaneous and high-precision measurement of compression depth and frequency by integrating a high-precision laser displacement sensor, a pressure control system, and an ARM processor. Experimental verification demonstrates that the technical indicators of the tester surpass the requirements of the specification, exhibiting excellent safety, universality, and reliability, thereby providing an effective technical solution for the rapid and accurate calibration of CPR machines.

    To address the limitations of current quality control for syringe pumps, which relies heavily on periodic verification and post-event assessment and lacks a prospective prediction mechanism for performance degradation trends, this study explores a machine learning-based method for metrological characteristic mining and performance prediction. Taking 284 single-channel syringe pumps from a tertiary-grade A hospital in Guangxi as research samples, the study collected key data on indicated error and repeatability under three typical flow rates, and constructed an analytical framework using K-Means clustering and Random Forest algorithms. The results indicate that indicated error displays significant differences between the two clustered groups, whereas repeatability shows no significant inter-group differences. Addressing the issue of high missed detection rates for abnormal samples caused by data imbalance, the Random Forest model was optimized using a cost-sensitive learning mechanism. This optimization significantly improved the recall rate for the performance-fluctuation group from 0.07 to 0.43, thereby enhancing the identification capability for potential high-risk devices. Although the overall prediction accuracy was adjusted to 62.8% due to increased safety redundancy, the model effectively reduces clinical missed detection risks. Future research should expand the sample size and enrich feature dimensions.

    To address the traceability challenges in medical mammography X-ray machines, this study designed and developed a low-energy mammography X-ray radiation device. The system features a dual-source configuration (molybdenum target and tungsten target) for generating RQR-M and RQA reference radiation qualities, and employs a top-down vertical irradiation geometry to accurately simulate the operational conditions of clinical mammography systems. This design enhances the efficiency of value transmission and minimizes the impact of scattered radiation on the surroundings. This paper elaborates on the core components, operational principles, and two measurement methodologies (coaxiality and uniformity) for characterizing the radiation field. Experimental focus was placed on the field uniformity at a distance of 0.6 m from the X-ray focal spot. Results demonstrate that the radiation field area with uniformity exceeding 95% is approximately 95 mm (horizontal) × 90 mm (vertical), which meets the calibration requirements for ionization chambers of commercial mammography dose meters. Repeated performance tests and long-term field application have confirmed the stability and reliability of the device, providing crucial technical support for the traceability of mammography equipment, radiation hazard control, and public health protection.
