Re: Xrf coffee ground
Hi guys Ludlum 12S??is??my favorite. Yes the readings are not accurate. Actually for low energy x rays ,they overestimate due to energy response curve calibrated to Cs137,advantageous for me.

Re: Xrf coffee ground
Geo, 1 frustrating week of trying to get a 30L dewar to fill a BEGE detector. Only got 3 psi and it would drop to zero on trying to fill the detector. Had a bad dip stick seal in one withdrawal device

Re: Xrf coffee ground
No, the 12S is not a good instrument for that application. It only reads dose rate correctly when calibrated for Cs-137. All other energies are wrong. The proper instrument would be a Ludlum 17

Re: Xrf coffee ground
For DETECTING the Ludlum12S is hard to beat, and is a good instrument for your application. I used a similar instrument to track down a defective industrial X-Ray machine at a factory in an industrial

Re: Xrf coffee ground
Taray, Be careful with X-ray tubes as they have a very broad energy range with a very high dose rate. The Ludlum12s is not an appropriate instrument to measure the dose rate with as its response is

Re: Xrf coffee ground
Tube tech is simple. The beam is combination of Bremsstrahlung X-Rays from the electron beam stopping on the target and XRF from the tungsten (or other target) caused by the electron stream. Same Ka

Beam "hardening"
X-ray emission spectra from a tungsten target produced at 100 kV. Curve 1 is the theoretical spectrum without any filtration. Curve 2 is the typical spectrum with the inherent filtration of the x-ray

Re: Xrf coffee ground
Thanks for that analysis Taray. We should keep quite about the free vitamins that are unknowingly being included in coffee, they will raise the price!(joke). A few real ideas - We can see clearly on

Good for you. I have a 4X5"polaroid film holder, will FUji version fit? also 4x5 cut film (negative) and regular X-Ray film holders too. To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2021 6:55:34 AM

Re: Xrf coffee ground
Good start...... Looks like your internal filtering is a bit lower than mine, This could be interesting. Can you see the beam with a screen? A gadolinium based screen shows best. Geo To: [email protected]
