Accessories For Beta Sample Counting System (Copy)
Technical Data
i) LEAD CASTLE TYPE : LS 240
The Lead Castle Type : LS 240 is designed to shield the G.M.Counters from background radiation. Lead Castle type LS 240 can house G.M. counters mounted on Geiger tube stand of NUCLEONIX make. The shield is of 40 mm thickness and is built up of FOUR middle rings excluding top cover with handle and bottom disc. The top and bottom are covered by similar interlocking discs. A door is fitted in the bottom ring with 150 degree opening to facilitate easy access to the sample holding tray of G.M. Stand. The door is fitted with heavy duty hinges and the inside of the lead shield is lined with thin aluminium sheet to minimize scattering.
Dimensions :
| a. External : | 200mm dia x 370mm height (approx) |
|---|---|
| b. Internal : | 120mm dia x 300mm height |
| c. Weight : | Approx. 96 Kgs. |
(ii) STAND FOR G.M. DETECTOR TYPE : SG 200
Stand for G.M. tube type SG 200 has been designed to hold end window G.M. tubes. This stand can be housed inside the lead shielding if required. It has both sample and absorber trays. The position of these trays can be adjusted from the end window of the detector. The stand made up of acrylic sheet is precisely milled for sliding-in of sample and absorber trays.
Sample tray is made up of SS material designed to hold planchets or disc type radioactive standard source ( Beta or Gamma). Aluminimum absorber discs can be interposed between the source and the detector for attenuating the radiation as seen by the detector.
This stand is an essential accessory for connecting end window G.M. tube to any of the G.M. counting systems or Radiation Counting System manufactured by NUCLEONIX.
(iii) PLANCHETS (AL & SS)
SS and aluminium planchets are required to place the prepared environmental samples for counting. These planchets are of 25mm dia & have a depth of 2mm. These are designed to fit into the sample / source holder / drawer of the detector assembly.
(iv) END WINDOW G.M. DETECTOR TYPE : GM 125
GM 125 is a Halogen Quenched, wide End Window GM Detector, supplied by NUCLEONIX. It is highly recommended for swipe sample counting of Beta samples by health Physics labs. Its operating voltage is approximately 500V. It has good plateau length and plateau slope. Its operating voltage is approximately 500V. It is enclosed in a PVC cylindrical enclosure for protection & supplied. An MHV socket provided on one side of the PVC enclosure facilitates one to connect to detector socket on rear panel of the counting system.
