16.0 STANDERD TEST DATA
LEAKAGE RADIATION
a. Test method:
1. Set kV to 120 kV, and timer to 1.0 sec.
2. Set x-ray dosemeter as following settings.
distance: 1 m, range: 0 – 0.1 mR ionization chamber: 35
3
cm
3. Set chamber as following direction.
4. Close collimator set, and make exposure.
5. Measure value of mR.
Calculations: mR/h = ( raw test data ) mR × 3600 × ( duty cycle )1 / 60
b. Instruments: Model 37D Portable X-ray dosemeter Serial No. 5 - 6
