Comtest Distribution has introduced the Fluke 481 radiation survey meter, a portable and practical means for identifying irradiated goods and for helping remediate contamination and safety issues with minimal impact on operations.
Use of the device reassures employees that radiation risks are known, monitored and measured for their safety, protection and peace-of-mind. If radiation is found, a clear and quantifiable result allows managers to comply with safety guidelines, without overreacting and taking unnecessary steps that might halt operations, impact productivity or lead to lost revenue.
The portability of the Fluke 481 allows its use in diverse applications from receiving dock to warehouse to shop floor and scanning of vehicles, packages or individuals. It can detect multiple types of ionising radiation associated with contaminated goods and was specifically designed for high sensitivity to allow the operators to work at a safe distance.
The unit delivers measurable results for compliance with safety guidelines with exact information about the extent of contamination so that safe perimeters may be set up.
Key features
* Measures both dose and dose-rate.
* Detects skin-dose (beta particle) and deep-dose (gamma) and X-ray radiation.
* Use for contamination detection, general radiation area surveys, radiation level monitoring and hazardous materials assessment.
* Easily visible inside truck trailers and other low-light conditions via automated backlight.
* Works reliably indoors or outdoors thanks to sealed case.
* Delivers more than one week of continuous operation from two 9 V alkaline batteries.
