Personal dosemeter claims majority of the market
January 2002
Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
Within a two-year period, the reliable and easy-to-use EPD Mk2 Electronic Personal Dosemeter from Siemens Environmental Systems is said to have penetrated close to 80% of the South African nondestructive testing market. To date, over 300 units are in the marketplace in compliance with the Group IV Hazardous Substance Act. Various organisations, including fire stations, safety departments and the military, are also using the Siemens EPD Mk2 for dependable protection against radioactive substances.
With its advanced radiological performance and multidetector technology, the unit provides an excellent response to gamma, beta and X-radiation, and together with a range of software solutions, it is suitable for all dosimetric applications.
The small, lightweight EPD Mk2 is immune to electromagnetic interference and provides loud and visual configurable alarms for dose and dose rate. The unit meets IP55 protection to eliminate ingress of dust and water to the level of low-pressure jets from all directions.
A single alkaline AA battery powers the unit continuously for approximately seven weeks. An interrogation software package incorporating distance infrared communication up to a distance of 1 m is also available. The EPD Mk2 is capable of retaining critical data up to 10 years without a battery, and display and function control is via a single button on the front of the unit.
Siemens Environmental Systems is represented locally by OEN Enterprises.
