Ambient Dose Equivalent Filter

Part Number: 2002-1050

Ludlum offers an energy compensation filter that flattens the energy response of our popular Model 44-9 GM pancake detector and Model 26-Series friskers to facilitate measuring Ambient Equivalent Dose (Sieverts). 

The venerable GM pancake has a significant over-response at lower energies between approximately 20 to 160 keV (see red line on graph below). Any dose measurements taken with an unfiltered GM pancake detector would thus have unacceptable errors at these lower energies. This filter developed by Ludlum flattens the response to within ± 20% referenced to ¹³⁷Cs (662 keV) over an energy range of 20 keV to 1.2 MeV.

This filter simply snaps on across the face of a Ludlum Model 44-9 detector or Ludlum Model 26-Series frisker whenever this type of measurement is desired. The filter is then easily removed to continue measuring contamination (cpm or Bq).

The filter can be purchased separately or together with a new Model 44-9 detector or Model 26-Series instrument.

Note: The Model 2002-1050 Dose Filter is designed to fit Model 44-9 Series of Radiation Detectors with serial number 97000 and higher. The filter will not fit the Model 44-9-13 or older units unless modified.
