Service & reparation Request a quote- Monitoring of tritium H-3 activity concentration in room and exhaust air
- Low interference of increased background levels or other gaseous nuclides than H-3
- Two measuring channels
- Compensation of other gaseous nuclides than H-3 or background (optional)
- Optimization for max H-3 sensitivity or low spillover
- Detector with thermostat controlled heating (optional)
- Two different gas mixtures available: Methane (CH4), Argon-Methane (P10)
The air to be measured is mixed with a suitable counting gas and passed through a 1.3 liter volume proportional counter tube. Methane (mixing ratio air/gas 1:3) or Argon-Methane (P10, mixing ratio air/gas 1:4) are used as counting gas. The accuracy of the measurement is dependent on the constancy of the mixing ratio of air and counting gas. Due to that the LB 110 ensures a good and reliable gas-air control. Measuring air and counting gas flow are measured separately and kept at a constant level.
There are two evaluation units for the LB 110 Tritium-Monitor: The data loggers LB 5340 (shown on the picture) or LB 9000
