Gamma Reference Standard Set

Gamma Reference Standard Set [ TYPE : GS 290 ]

Technical Data
manual

GS290 consists of a set of FIVE/SIX uncalibrated Gamma reference sources evaporated and sealed on 25mm dia x 5mm plastic disc covering ranging from 100KeV upto 1.33MeV energies with activity in the range of 2 to 5 micro curie. A reference chart for this is given below. These radioactive sources offered are from BRIT. This serves as an uncalibrated (for activity) reference set for use with GR 611M & 611 & Gamma ray spectroscopy system with MCA. This set can be used for energy calibration purpose. The accuracy of these sources is in the range of +/-10%. All these disc sources are enclosed in a neatly polished wooden box.
