New Guide for Measurement and Test Equipment for Remotely Operated Facilities
1. Scope
The intent of this guide is to provide general guidelines for the applicability (selection), design, modification, installation, operation, calibration, and maintenance of measurement and test equipment in remotely operated facilities such as hot cells. Measurement and test equipment include but are not limited to analytical instruments, temperature and pressure gauges and sensors, dimensional measurement systems, balances, radiation monitors, sampling systems, and process monitoring systems. Design features and modifications necessary to calibrate, maintain, and eventually dispose of this equipment are also suggested in this guide.
