For example, a typical stationary radiographic x-ray machine also includes an ion chamber and grid.
Since then the ion chamber has been a widely used tool in the laboratory for research and calibration purposes.
As the ion chamber works in current mode, not pulse mode, this is synthesised from the radiation rate.
For industrial process measurements and interlocks with sustained high radiation levels, the ion chamber is the preferred detector.
Moisture is the main problem that affects the accuracy of ion chambers.
Measurements for each are taken using an ion chamber for identical source to detector distances and field sizes.
The ion chamber is basically a hollow plate located between the detection medium and the object being imaged.
It incorporates the company's own ion chamber, which can electronically zero without the use of zero gas.
Cesium iodide was replaced during the 1980s by ion chambers containing high-pressure Xenon gas.
The tank contains thermocouples for sensing the water temperature and ion chambers for monitoring the reactor power.
