Abstract
The performances of bubbler-probe manometry, Time Domain Reflectometry and RF capacitance probes for use in determining the liquid level in process vessels were evaluated in a test programme at the Casaccia COMB-MEPIS laboratory, operated by the Italian Nuclear and Alternative Energy Commission (ENEA). The work, carried out in the summer of 1987, was done under a joint IAEA-ITALY -USA test programme of technical support for International Safeguards implementation. The fundamental outcome of the performance evaluations tests is the calibration and standardization data for the being calibrated. In addition to examples of the calibrations, the paper includes a comparison of key performance factors presenting tables and graphics as result of data analysis.
