Radiation Detection Instruments & Calibration
In today’s world, safety and compliance are paramount in sectors such as nuclear power generation, medical imaging, and environmental monitoring. Properly calibrated radiation detection instruments play a crucial role in ensuring that the levels of ionizing radiation are accurately measured and controlled. Our laboratory specializes in providing comprehensive calibration services for various types of radiation detection instruments, including Geiger-Müller counters, scintillation detectors, and sodium iodide (NaI) detectors.
The process of calibrating these instruments involves standardization against internationally recognized standards such as ISO 8529-1:2017 and ASTM E634:2020. During calibration, the instrument is exposed to a known source of radiation under controlled conditions, and its response is compared with the expected reading. Any discrepancies are then adjusted until the instrument provides accurate results.
Our team of highly qualified experts ensures that all calibrations adhere strictly to international standards, providing clients with reliable and repeatable data. This not only helps in maintaining compliance but also enhances operational safety by ensuring that any potential risks associated with ionizing radiation are minimized.
The primary goal of our calibration services is to ensure accurate measurement capabilities, thereby supporting the safe operation of facilities dealing with radioactive materials or equipment. By doing so, we help protect personnel and the environment from unnecessary exposure to harmful levels of radiation.
