Smart Cam Equilibrium factor calcs


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Here¡¯s a good paper on calculating equilibrium factors using a smart Cam amongst other techniques.

However does anyone know how to get the smart Cam to report Po 218 and Po 214 in pCi/ml or DAC? All I can get is CPS.

Not I Dudley, haven't had much time to use it. What air-pump did you finally settle on and what flow rate made the IMPEX happy?

Geo,

I originally had a GAST pump but it over heated and would trip off. I put an Eberline RAS-1 pump on it but it is maxed out at 25 LPM after start up at 32 lpm. I get a Filter error with the Ultra metal filter holder using PTFE or glass 5211 filters but the original Ultra filter works ok, but not for that price. It does report good data; Rn Po214, Po214 Po218 and others so it¡¯s doing its job fine. I¡¯m trying figure out how to get it to report Po-218 and Po 214 in DAC units (pCi/ml) to calc the equilibration factor for the daughter plate in the room.

Get yours going it¡¯s a lot of fun watch room build up.

Good. My Eberline is a smaller one yet, noisy daiphram type and doesn't have the RAS-1 regulator on it. Part of an old 1" filter sampler and a 1" ZnS(Ag)/ 1"PMT/tray radon detector outfit.
