ABOUT RAYSAFE 452

The RaySafe 452 is a hand-held device designed for monitoring and measuring radiation levels indoors and temporarily outdoors, in nuclear, industrial and medical applications.

WARNING

The RaySafe 452 does not replace any radiation protection equipment.

WARNING

The RaySafe 452 is not a replacement for personal or legal dosimeters.

WARNING

The RaySafe 452 is not approved for use in environments with explosive atmosphere.

WARNING

Use RaySafe 452 only as specified or the protection provided in the design may be compromised.

WARNING

Take special care when measuring on intermittent radiation sources, such as pulsed X-rays or linear particle accelerators (linacs). See "Intermittent radiation sources" on page 10.

The RaySafe 452 (the instrument) is used with different lids, or without lid, to quantify dose, dose rate, mean photon energy, counts and count rate.

The instrument consists of two automatically handled sensor systems:

  1. A Geiger-Müller pancake, used at low dose rates and, without lid, as an // (alpha, beta, gamma) counter.

  2. A cluster of solid-state sensors, used at medium to high dose rates.

MEASURE WITH LID

Select which lid to use (Ambient or Air kerma).

  1. Mount the lid.
  2. Position the instrument with the sensors (the flat area of the lid) facing the radiation source.

The instrument handles its two sensor systems seamlessly, for both continuous sources of radiation, and for intermittent sources. See "Intermittent radiation sources" on page 10.

The instrument has no zero adjust functionality, and measurements include background radiation.

Measurement parameters

Dose and dose rate

Dose is all dose accumulated during the current measurement.

Dose rate uses an algorithm that detects radiation changes with a response time of a few seconds or less, but may in some cases need more time to stabilize, according to Table 2 on page 9.

DOSE RATE(μGy/h, μSv/h)DOSE RATE(mrad/h, mR/h, mrem/h)TIME TO MAXSTABILITY
≤ 0.1 ≤ 0.01 60 s
0.3 0.03 30 s
1 0.1 10 s
3 0.3 10 s
10 1 10 s
30 3 10 s
100 10 5 s
≥ 300 ≥ 30 2 s

Table 2. Dose rate stabilization times.

NOTE Dose rate readings may need additional time to stabilize on a lower value after high radiation levels, due to afterglow of scintillators in the solid-state sensors.
NOTE The instrument is not sensitive to neutrons. This has been tested using thermal neutrons from a moderated ^241 Am-Be source. The response was found to be less than 5 % of the neutron ambient dose equivalent.

Peak dose rate ( ^ )

Peak dose rate is the highest displayed dose rate reading since last reset. See definition of dose rate.

NOTE The instrument detects muons, created when interstellar high energy particles from the Milky Way crashes into the Earth's atmosphere. The muons interact with the solid-state sensors (when measuring with lid) and create short (1–2 s) dose rate pulses of approximately 100 times background. At sea level,

the instrument typically detects a few muons per day, but at higher altitudes, for example when travelling by air, the number increases to hundreds per day.

Mean photon energy

Mean photon energy uses a moving average of up to 10 seconds. The averaging time is shortened whenever a change in dose rate is detected.

Intermittent radiation sources

Dose is accurate for short pulse lengths due to the fast dead time corrections and sensor algorithms. See Figure 9 on page 10.

FLUKE RaySafe 452 - Intermittent radiation sources - 1

line | Pulse length (ms) | Pulse repetition frequency (Hz) | | ----------------- | -------------------------------- | | 0.001 | 100 | | 0.01 | 10 | | 0.1 | 1 | | 1 | 0.1 | | 10 | 0.1 | | 100 | 0.1 |

Figure 9. Performance on intermittent radiation, for temperatures up to 30 °C (86 °F). Green area: Response within ±20 % of the response at continuous radiation.

Dose rate is averaged over 1 second or longer, and updated once per second. Therefore, the instrument needs a radiation pulse of at least 2 seconds to reliably measure the rate of the pulse. It is possible to manually calculate the rate of a shorter pulse using the measured dose and a known pulse length.

When measuring on continuously repeating pulses, for example from pulsed fluoroscopy or linacs, the instrument measures average dose rate. If the duty cycle is known, it can be used as a correction for calculating the radiation rate in the pulses.

NOTE At temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) the instrument's ability to handle radiation from intermittent sources gradually declines with increasing temperature.

MEASURE WITHOUT LID

When measuring without lid, for example on a potentially contaminated surface:

  1. Unmount the lid. When measuring without lid, the active sensor is the Geiger-Müller pancake, G in Figure 1 on page 4.
  2. Turn on the measurement sound.
    Tip: Long press on the left arrow button toggles the measurement sound on or off.
  3. Hold the instrument close to, but not in contact with, the surface.
  4. Scan the surface slowly, approximately 1 cm/s ( 12 inch per second).

RaySafe 452 – Users Manual (EN)

The instrument counts discharge avalanches in the Geiger-Müller pancake, caused by alpha, beta and gamma radiation. After each discharge, the pancake takes some tens of microseconds to recharge, called the dead time. The instrument corrects for the effect of this dead time each millisecond, automatically.

The instrument has no zero adjust functionality, and measurements include background radiation.

Measurement parameters

Counts

Counts is the sum of all discharge events during the current measurement, corrected for dead time every millisecond.

Count rate

Count rate uses an algorithm that detects changes in radiation with a response time of a few seconds or less, but may in some cases need more time to stabilize. See Table 3 on page 11.

Count rate is averaged over 1 second or longer, and updated once per second, why the instrument needs a stable radiation level for at least 2 seconds to reliably measure the rate.

RATE (cps)RATE (cpm)TIME TO MAX STABILITY
≤ 0.5 ≤ 30 60 s
1.5 90 33 s
5 300 10 s
15 900 10 s
50 3 k 10 s
150 9 k 7 s
500 30 k 4 s
≥ 1500 ≥ 90 k 2 s

Table 3. Count rate stabilization times.

Peak count rate ( ^ )

Peak count rate is the highest displayed count rate since last reset.

See definition of count rate.

Activity calculation

The approximate activity of detected nuclides can be calculated from count rate, see Table 4 on page 12. For non-listed nuclides, interpolate using the decay type and particle energy.

RADIONUCLIDEDECAY (E_max , MeV) TYPICAL ACTIVITYPER COUNT RATE(Bq/cps), (dpm/cpm)
^14C ^- (0.16) 17
^80Co ^- (0.32) 6
^36Cl ^- (0.71) 4
^90Sr / ^90Y ^- (0.55 / 2.28) 3
^233Pu a (5.16) 8
^741Am a (5.49) 8

Table 4. Conversion factors from count rate to activity.

Table 4 on page 12 is based on measurements made with 3 mm distance between the instrument housing (without lid) and an Al plate with a thin layer of radionuclide (wide area class 2 source according to ISO 8769:2010). Under other measurement conditions, for example different physical properties of the sample, such as thickness, size and purity, these conversion factors may underestimate the activity.

Example: The instrument reads 20 cps (1200 cpm) above background at a short distance from an Americium-241 containing particle. The activity of the particle is at least 20 cps × 8 Bq/cps = 160 Bq (1200 cpm × 8 dpm/cpm = 9600 dpm).

FOOTNOTES

  1. The instrument uses a Geiger-Muller pancake at low rates and a cluster of solid-state sensors at higher rates. The rate where the solid-state sensors are fully engaged gradually increase with temperature, for temperatures above 30 °C (86°F)

  2. Limit where the response is within ±20% of the response at continuous radiation. Above 30^ ( 86^ ) the instrument's ability to handle low linear pulse rates and short X-ray pulses gradually declines with increasing temperature.

  3. Refers to the microwave pulse repetition frequency of typical medical linear accelerators. Each pulse has a typical duration of a few s.

  4. Ranges where the instrument fulfills IEC 50846-1:2009.

  5. Above 30 °C (86 °F) the minimum dose rate gradually increases with increasing temperature.

  6. Measured at 3 mm distance between instrument housing (without lid) and wide area class 2 sources according to ISO 8769.2010.
