Originally designed to measure leakage and scatter around diagnostic X-ray and radiation therapy suites, the 451P’s radiation measurement surveying capabilities make it well-suited for a wide range of end users, including X-ray manufacturers, government agencies, state inspectors, biomedical technicians, and maintenance technicians for airport baggage scanners.
Key Features
High sensitivity μR measurements of rate and dose simultaneously, with the capability to record peak dose rate
Ergonomic, anti-fatigue handle with replaceable grip, wrist strap and tripod mount
Programmable flashing LCD display and audible alarm
Easily-accessible battery door (operated by one or two 9-volt alkaline batteries) on the outside of the bottom case
RS-232 communications interface with optional Windows based Excel add-in for data logging
Available with ambient dose equivalent energy response (SI units)
CE tested. Meets applicable standards
The auto-ranging 451P ion chamber radiation survey meter features a pressurized ionization chamber, providing enhanced sensitivity (µR resolution) and improved energy response to measure radiation rate and dose from X-ray and gamma sources.
The ion chamber detector allows for a fast response time to radiation from leakage, scatter beams and pinholes. Additionally, the low noise ionization chamber bias supply provides for fast background settling time.
The digital display features an analog bar graph, 2.5-digit digital readout, low battery and freeze (“peak hold”) mode indicators, and an automatic backlight function. User controls consist of an ON/OFF button and a MODE button.
