Ludlum Measurements Pallet Detector

Category: Characterization > Monitors > Inorganic Matter Detectors
Reference # : Model No :

The outdoor or vehicle monitor detectors are highly sensitive plastic scintillation detectors housed in weathertight enclosures, making them suitable for rugged and outdoor environments. Each detector features a large active volume of 7866 cm³ (480 in³) and is shielded with 0.33 cm (0.13 in.) of lead to minimize background radiation interference. These detectors are compatible with systems such as the Ludlum 375P Waste Monitor or any other meter with adjustable high voltage settings, providing flexibility for various radiation monitoring applications.

Benefits

The detectors' large scintillation volume ensures high sensitivity, enabling the detection of low radiation levels over wide areas. The lead shielding enhances measurement accuracy by reducing background interference, making them suitable for waste monitoring, environmental surveys, or vehicle-mounted radiation detection. The weathertight housing provides durability in outdoor conditions, ensuring reliable operation in diverse environments. Their compatibility with adjustable high-voltage systems increases their versatility, allowing integration with a variety of monitoring setups.

Limitations

While these detectors are highly sensitive, the reliance on external systems like the Ludlum 375P Waste Monitor or similar meters may limit their standalone usability. The lead shielding, while beneficial for accuracy, adds to the weight of the units, which could make handling more cumbersome. Additionally, their large size may pose challenges in tightly confined spaces or applications requiring compact equipment. Lastly, users may require training to properly configure and integrate the detectors with their monitoring systems to achieve optimal performance.
