The invention belongs to the field of
neutron optical devices, and relates to a
neutron conduit
waviness measuring method. The method comprises the following steps: S1, defining a
waviness parameter sigma as an index for measuring the flatness of a reflecting surface, and calculating through a specific formula; s2, a
total station is used for being matched with an auto-collimation
eyepiece, in an auto-collimation mode, light beams of the
total station irradiate the reflection surface, the normal incidence state is determined, and the angle is recorded; s3, mounting the
total station on a high-precision guide rail, sliding along the guide rail, repeating the step S2 at a plurality of positions at equal intervals, recording a current instrument angle, and transmitting the current instrument angle to a computer; s4,
processing the data by using a spreadsheet template, and calculating
waviness according to the geometrical shape; and S5, evaluating the waviness value and the normal accuracy of the side wall of the multi-section conduit, and analyzing the influence of the waviness value and the normal accuracy on
neutron reflection. The neutron reflection quality and the multi-section guide rail
butt joint integration quality can be evaluated more accurately, the method is suitable for guide pipes in various geometrical shapes, design and manufacturing can be guided, the production efficiency can be improved, and support is provided for device improvement.
