Description
Using the portable air-vented ion chamber instruments from Bicron RSO-500, beta, X-ray, and gamma radiation are measured and detected. Nuclear power plants, hospitals, and environmental organizations are just a few of the settings and fields where this tool can be used. Radiological oversight is also essential in these situations. Thanks to its high sensitivity, the RSO-500 is capable of detecting a variety of radiation types, including X-rays, beta, alpha, and gamma radiation.
Specifications
– A phenolic, or plastic, cylinder of 3 in. diameter
– 12.7 in 3 (208 cm3) volume with one end open but covered by a Mylar window
– RSO-500 Ranges:
0-0.5 R/hr
0-5 R/hr
0-50 R/hr
0-500 R/hr
– Detector wall is 200 mg/cm2 and the 0.13 cm aluminum case is about 345 mg/cm2
– RSO windows – 7 mg/cm2 total, both windows are Mylar of 3.5 mg/cm2 each
– RSO shield – 400 mg/cm2 (1/8 in. thick) and is mounted externally on the case
– Measure photon radiation within +20% for photon energies from 12 keV to 7 MeV (beta shield open)
– Minimum energy increases to 25 keV if the shield is closed, and to about 40 keV through the side of the instrument
– Measure beta radiation >70 keV
– Bicron RSO series of instruments are designed to measure gamma, x-ray and beta radiation but will detect (not measure) fast neutron radiation.
– The instruments will read approximately 10%, in mR/hr, of the true neutron field, in mrem/hr
– RSO-500 range switch with OFF, ZERO, and BATT checking positions.
