5.2.3 HVL Application
HVL is calculated in the standard way using an
HVL stand and a set of aluminum filters.
The general HVL method that can be used when
measuring with an external detector connected to
the electrometer module is described in section
HVL & Total Filtration .
Using the Piranha and the built-in HVL application
correct HVL value and total filtration value can be
measured and calculated.
Set up the system the same way as
described earlier to measure dose in
radiography beams and select the
Piranha. The only difference is that you
select the built-in HVL application for
the dose measurement. The HVL
application can be found in the Dose
test (under Appl on the Quickbar).
Follow the instructions in that application to change the filter in the beam according to
the set values.
