Alpha/beta radiometer UMF-2000 for low level activity measurements

  • Альфа-бета радиометр для измерения малых активностей УМФ-2000

Description

Low background alpha/beta radiometer with silicon detector. The radiometer is widely used for low level activity measurements by alpha and beta counting. It is recommended for measurement of gross alpha and beta activity in natural and drinking waters.

Aplication

  • measurement of gross activity of alpha-emitting radionuclides in thick and thin samples;
  • measurement of activity of beta-emitting radionuclides in samples of foodstuffs, soil, water, as well as of filters and samples prepared by the selective radiochemical extraction;
  • measurement of activity of alpha-emitting radionuclides in samples prepared by the selective radiochemical extraction (relative procedures are necessary).

Features

  • simultaneous measurement of alpha/beta activities in the sample;
  • available options for surface area of the installed detector: 500 or 1000 mm2;
  • active anti-coincidence background substraction using gas discharge detectors (GM tubes);
  • passive lead shielding from background gamma radiation;
  • protection from power line disturbances;
  • timer and two channels (alpha, beta) for separate counting of pulses from the detector;
  • spectrometric output (after preamplifier);
  • basic software for UMF-2000;
  • measurement of 210Po and 210Pb in soil and water samples;
