What is a Radiac Detector?

A Radiac Detector (DETECTOR,RADIAC) is a device consisting of a permanent or replaceable element which is sensitive to radioactivity or free nuclear particles, together with its associated circuits and housing. As a result of the incident ionizing radiation, it produces an electron pulse or current flow that can be interpeted by other components. Does not include meters or indicators. Excludes PROBE, RADIAC.

What is a Radiac Probe?

A Radiac Probe (PROBE,RADIAC) is an item designed to house and position a Geiger-Mueller or neutron ray counter type ELECTRON, TUBE. It may include a preamplifier(s) and associated cable(s).

What is a Mine Detecting Set?

A Mine Detecting Set (DETECTING SET,MINE) is a fixed number of components and/or items, not all having the same basic name, which are required for the detection and indication of metallic and/or nonmetallic mines buried in the earth, submerged in water, or on the surface of land or water within the operating range of the device. For items without separate components such as head phones, battery packs, or displays see: DETECTOR, MINE.

What is a Radiac Set?

A Radiac Set is a fixed number of components and/or items, not all having the same basic name, which are used to detect, measure and/or compute radioactivity. They may or may not indicate simultaneously.

What is a Radiacmeter?

A Radiacmeter is an item specifically designed to detect and measure radioactive energy; indicates directly. It may or may not include the function of a radiac computer.

What is an Air Sampler Kit?

An Air Sampler Kit (SAMPLER KIT,AIR) is an assembly of equipment designed to collect samples of air suspected of being contaminated. May include electrically powered vacuum pump that draws a measured volume of air through a filter, tape or other such device, on which the sample(3) are collected and/or recorded to be later analyzed. The equipment may also be used with a telemetering device. Excludes ANALYZING KIT, CHEMICAL.

What is a Chemical Agent Monitor?

A Chemical Agent Monitor (MONITOR,CHEMICAL AGENT) is a hand held device used for monitoring of chemical agent contamination on personnel and/or equipment. It detects vapors of chemical agents and may be designed to discriminate between vapors or various agents.

What is a Gas Detector Kit?

A Gas Detector Kit (DETECTOR KIT,GAS) is a collection of chemical materials and testing equipment for the purpose of determining the presence and identity of hazardous gases.

What is a Gas Detector?

A Gas Detector (DETECTOR,GAS) is a device specifically designed for the detection and/or evaluation and indication of hazardous gases.

What is a Gas Indicator Tube?

A Gas Indicator Tube (INDICATOR TUBE,GAS) is a replaceable item containing a chemical substance which changes color in the presence of a hazardous gas.

What is a Gas Monitor Calibration Check Kit?

A Gas Monitor Calibration Check Kit (CALIBRATION CHECK KIT,GAS MONITOR) is a collection of items used for checking the accuracy and response time of gas detection instruments. It is compatible for use with a passport personal alarm and an aerosol type check kit used with an explosimeter indicator. May include regulator, calibration tube, quick connect calibration adapter, hose, tubing, calibration device, and other related items.

NATO Supply Class 6665 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 6665 specifically focuses on Hazard-Detecting Instruments And Apparatus. This class includes a wide range of instruments and apparatus used for detecting and measuring various hazards, such as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) agents, as well as other environmental hazards.

Some examples of hazard-detecting instruments and apparatus that fall under NATO Supply Class 6665 include:

1. Gas detectors: These instruments are used to detect the presence of hazardous gases in the environment, such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, or volatile organic compounds.

2. Radiation detectors: These devices are designed to measure and detect ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. They are commonly used in nuclear power plants, medical facilities, and environmental monitoring.

3. Chemical analyzers: These instruments are used to analyze and identify various chemical substances, including hazardous chemicals. They can be used for on-site testing or in laboratory settings.

4. Biological detectors: These devices are used to detect the presence of biological agents, such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins. They are commonly used in biosecurity and public health applications.

5. Environmental monitoring instruments: These instruments are used to measure and monitor various environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and noise levels. They can help identify potential hazards in the environment.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 6665 covers a wide range of hazard-detecting instruments and apparatus, and the specific types and models may vary depending on the requirements and standards of NATO member countries.

When procuring or referencing products within NATO Supply Class 6665, it is essential to ensure that they meet the necessary specifications and standards set by NATO and the respective national authorities.
