Dosimetry – PEN Dosimeters
Direct reading radiation dosimeters are the sophisticated PENs. Compared to other dosimeters of the same sort, they are tough, precise equipment with greater quality and dependability. Gamma and x-ray exposure cumulative dosage is measured and directly read.
To track overall radiation exposure, a radiation dosimeter is attached to any item or pocket with a strong metal clip. They are waterproof and hermetically sealed. ANSI N 13.5 and N322 criteria, as well as military specifications for the RADIAC METER IM-264/PD, are all satisfied by PEN dosimeters.
The radiation dosimeter accurately measures the radiation exposure that you have experienced.
Exposure Range (gamma and x-rays)
PEN200mR Scale increments of 10mR
PEN500mR Scale increments of 20mR
PEN2R increments of 100 mR
PEN5R increments of 200mR
PEN20R increments of 1R
PEN2mSv increments of .1mSvp
PEN5mSv increments of .2mSv

Energy Dependence
±10% maximum change in sensitivity for x and gamma ray energies from 16 keV to 6 MeV.
Electrical Leakage
In the absence of radiation, the dosimeters leakage or self discharge is less than 0.5% of full scale in 24 hours at 50° C. At 20° C dosimeters will read background radiation. After gross over exposure totaling up to 2000 R, the leakage is less than 5% of full scale in 48 hours at 20° C. Thereafter, the leakage will decrease to original values.
Charging Voltage
Dosimeters are capable of being charged to “zero” with 140 to 195 volts.
Operational Characteristics
A maximum change in sensitivity of ±10% may occur under any probable combination of the following:
A) Temperature range below -20°C (-4°F) or above +50°C (122°F)
B) Greater than 50,000 foot altitude for one month
C) Relative humidity greater than 95% Highly resistant to shock and vibration.
Accuracy
±10% of true dose for Cs-137 or Co-60 gamma.
Rate Response
Dosimeters are dose rate independent.
Enclosure Material
Barrel – carbon fiber-filled, high-strength, electrically-conducting plastic with metal clip.

Dosi-Lite Pen Dosimeter Light / See Your Readings More Easliy
The Dosi-Lite provides illumination for a Direct-Reading Dosimeter in low light conditions which is held directly in front of the eye for viewing. The Dosi-Lite comprises of a light-emitting diode (LED) enclosed in a thimble-shaped flexible plastic casing, which slides onto the end of a dosimeter. When the user squeezes the casing, the leads are brought into contact with the batteries, thereby completing the circuit, lighting the LED, and illuminating the Direct-Reading Dosimeter.
The Dosi-Lite is designed for personnel that spend extended periods in areas with lighting which is insufficient or inconvenient for reading the Direct-Reading Dosimeter, thus running the risk of being exposed to excessive radiation before taking the next reading. The Dosi-Lite provides a convenient illuminating device for Direct-Reading Dosimeters that fits onto the end of a Direct-Reading Dosimeter.
