Exradin A12 Ion Chamber

Proven guard design yields stable, precise measurements and minimizes settling time by creating uniform field lines
Shell, collector, and guard are made of durable, long lasting Shonka conductive plastic
Use of homogeneous material throughout the chamber minimizes perturbation of the beam due to the presence of the chamber and optimizes measurements
Axially symmetric design of the chamber provides an uniform, isotropic response
Inherent waterproof construction eliminates need for additional protective coverings
Two separate stem pieces of 5.1 cm and 12.7 cm can be coupled together for ease of use
A matching 2.8 mm thick ⁶⁰Co build-up cap of C552 Shonka air-equivalent plastic is provided for air calibrations and measurements
Additional build-up caps of Delrin and brass are available
Ionization collection efficiency is 99.9% or better
Collecting volume is 0.65 cc

UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY

For absolute dosimetry calibrations in water, air, or other phantom material

DESIGNED FOR ABSOLUTE DOSIMETRY CALIBRATION

Exradin Farmer-type Chambers are specifically designed for absolute dosimetry calibrations in water, air, or other phantom material. The Model A12 is completely characterized in TG 51 and TRS 398.

FAST, PRECISE MEASUREMENTS

Its waterproof construction and two piece removable stem makes it ideal for use in water phantoms. The chamber vents through a flexible tube that surrounds the triaxial cable, ensuring the collecting volume is in pressure equilibrium with the surroundings. The design assures there are no stem or voltage soakage effects, providing precise and reliable measurements.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION, BUILT TO LAST

Farmer-type Chambers are constructed of rugged C552 Shonka air-equivalent plastic, providing excellent conductivity and years of reliable use. Rigorous one meter drop test proves ruggedness and reliability.
