Protection and environmental level calibration service

Expert calibration

NPL's protection-level calibration service is tailored for ionisation chambers used as secondary standards or instruments required for measurement of the greatest accuracy. Calibration of either an ionisation chamber alone or as a complete instrument is available.

Features

• Calibrated directly against the NPL air kerma primary standards or via specially constructed transfer chambers.
• X-ray qualities in accordance with ISO 4037 narrow spectrum series (see table below).
• ⁶⁰Co, ¹³⁷Cs and ²⁴¹Am radionuclides.
• Air kerma rates in the range 5 mGy/hr to 50 mGy/hr

Availability

• Calibrations are carried out during October to December each year by arrangement.
• Under the terms of a EUROMET agreement, calibrations with 4 MeV to 7 MeV X-rays may be undertaken at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Braunschweig, Germany. Enquiries in this case should be directed to Dr Sigmund Guldbakke at PTB (Tel: +49 531 592 6211)
