Technical Guidance

Here you will find data and articles on radiation shielding, frequently asked questions (FAQ), monitor performance, specific gamma ray constants, mathematical derivations - indeed everything we have personally found useful from our tool kit. The resource will be gradually uploaded here from time to time. Have anything suitable that you would like to see featured here?

    X-ray equipment: Constant potential 0.5-3 MV. A useful graph to calculate the dose rate output of a constant potential x-ray generator in Gy/h per mA at a distance of 1 m based on a tungsten target for different levels of tube filtration and varying MV. The text below the graph explains the conversion process to modern SI units.
