Chapter 6: Calibration Procedures

Radiation Detector Calibration Procedure
The radiation sensor contained in the FT-70 is one of two types:
• Solid State Detector (SSD)
• Scintillation Tube Detector (STD)
Solid State Detector
The Solid State Detector (SSD) uses a sensor and circuit board to
detect the strength of the x-ray beam as it contacts the sensor. The
SSD does not require calibration.
Scintillation Tube Detector
The Scintillation Tube Detector (STD) uses a Scintillation Tube to
capture x-rays and measure them. The Scintillation Tube requires
calibration approximately every three years.
