What to do if the IBA KermaX-plus 120-131 E indicate the wrong DAP value?
- J
  Jennifer GrayAug 3, 2025
  If the indicated DAP value is wrong on your IBA Measuring Instruments, you should first check if the X-ray beam is correctly penetrating the chamber. Also, verify the field size setting and remove any additional filtration. Compare the indicated values with an independent dosimeter as described in the verification procedure. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the chamber may need to be returned to the factory for service and repair.
