451B Ion Chamber Survey Meter with Beta Slide

The auto-ranging 451B ion chamber survey meter measures radiation rate and accumulated dose from beta, gamma and x-ray radiation sources. The 451B’s site surveying capabilities make it well-suited for a wide range of end users, including: police and fire departments, x-ray manufacturers, government agencies, state inspectors, emergency response and HAZMAT teams, nuclear medicine labs, hospital radiation safety officers, and nuclear power workers. The ionization chamber detector allows for a fast response time to radiation from leakage, scatter beams and pinholes. Additionally, the low noise chamber bias supply provides for fast background settling time. A sliding beta shield serves as an equilibrium thickness for photon measurements and enables beta discrimination.
