Best Personal Radiation Survey Meter For X-Rays
The RadEye G-10 and RadEye G20-10 from Thermo Scientific are personal radiation survey meters for both Gamma detection and the detection of X-Rays.
They are very popular with the food manufacturing industry.
Food manufacturers are very careful to ensure the quality of their products and pay great attention to ensuring that no foreign materials gets into the food during production. Although the possibility of contamination by a piece of metal from the machinery is extremely remote, food manufacturers invest heavily in X-ray equipment.
This X-ray equipment is used to monitor the food and give an alarm if there is any metal present in the product.
As well as being concerned for the well-being of their customers, food manufacturers are equally as concerned with health and safety of their staff. Therefore, they have procedures in place to monitor their staff's for any potential exposure to X-rays.
Which X-Ray detector you require depends on the X-Rays you need to monitor.
The RadEye G20-10 will detect low energy X-Rays from 17 keV and up, whereas the G-10 will detect X-Rays from 45 keV up.
It is light and compact so staff can wear the detector on their belt, without any hindrance to their work activities. The simple and intuitive interface makes them remarkable easy to use. The G-10 gives true dose calculation and there is an alarm for when the dose rates exceed a predetermined level.
The intelligent rate meter algorithm (ADF mode) guarantees that even the smallest changes of dose rate are immediately detected, while at the same time, the random fluctuations are effectively suppressed.
Using 2 x standard AAA batteries will give you up to 600 hours of operation. Rechargeable batteries can also be used for added economy.
Best X-Ray Detector for Safeline X-Ray Systems
Want to know which X-ray detector is used by service technicians working on Safeline X-Ray systems?
It’s the RadEye G-10! And here’s why…….
Safeline X-Ray systems are widely used throughout the food manufactory and processing industry in Australia. This is because Safeline specialise in contamination detection and quality control inspection equipment. Their products are used all over the world in food and pharmaceutical production facilities and they have established themselves as the world leader in this field.
Like all equipment, X-Ray systems need to be regularly serviced to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Naturally, technicians working on X-Ray systems want to be 100% certain that the machine they have just serviced is functioning correctly, as well as being able to monitor their own exposure to X-Rays whilst carrying out work on the equipment.
The Thermo Scientific RadEye G-10 is fast becoming the standard for service engineers working on X-Ray equipment.
This is because it gives precise dose rate measurements of gamma and X-ray radiation.
The RadEye G-10 is compact and can easily be worn on the person, such as on a belt clip. They are also lightweight and rugged. So, they won’t hinder the wearer and are not easily damaged if accidentally dropped.
It has an energy measurement range of 45 keV - 1.3 MeV, which makes it ideal for monitoring the dose rate of personnel working in the vicinity of X-Ray systems.
Thermo Scientific’s low power technology ensures reliable operation for up to 600 hours! Making the cost of ownership remarkably low. This can be further improved by using rechargeable batteries.
