Radiac Calibrator

Radiac calibrators are devices used to calibrate and test radiation detection instruments, such as Geiger-Muller counters and dosimeters. They are part of the supply class Hazard-Detecting Instruments And Apparatus in the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

Radiac calibrators are essential tools in radiation safety programs, as they ensure that radiation detection instruments are accurately measuring radiation levels. These calibrators generate known levels of radiation and compare the readings of the instruments being tested to the known values. This allows for adjustments and calibration of the instruments to maintain their accuracy.

Radiac calibrators typically have a variety of features, including the ability to generate different types of radiation, such as gamma and beta particles, and adjustable intensity levels. They may also have built-in detectors to measure the radiation output and provide feedback on the accuracy of the instruments being tested.

In addition to calibration, radiac calibrators can also be used for performance testing, quality assurance, and training purposes. They are commonly used in industries and facilities where radiation is present, such as nuclear power plants, medical facilities, research laboratories, and industrial settings.

It is important to regularly calibrate radiation detection instruments to ensure accurate measurements and maintain the safety of personnel working with or around radiation sources. Radiac calibrators play a crucial role in this process by providing a reliable and standardized method for calibration and testing.
