Survey Meters
What it does:
Portable, handheld devices (typically Geiger-Müller counters or Pressurized/non pressurized Ion Chambers) used to detect and measure ambient ionizing radiation fields. They provide instantaneous readings of dose rate (e.g., mR/hr or µSv/hr) to identify the presence and intensity of radiation.
Need:
Essential for routine surveillance, locating lost sources, checking shielding integrity, and ensuring that radiation levels in public and occupational areas remain within safe limits.
Radimage's Calibration Role:
- Regulatory: Calibrated to ensure response linearity and energy dependence meet AERB safety codes.
- Process: Radimage exposes the meter to known standard radiation fields (Co-60) to verify its reading accuracy across its entire measurement range.
