Description
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.
