TA - Model PTG-9 -Portable Tritium Air Monitor

SHARE

Technical Associates PTG-9 is a Tritium Air monitor; a highly sensitive, rugged, and portable instrument. A subtractive balanced chamber electrometer circuit decreases background effects to negligible levels and its deionized and filtered intake reduces spurious effects from smoke dust and existing ionization in the air. It is line operated with nominal 20 hour battery back-up. Optional inlet and outlet hoses allow monitoring interiors of fume hoods, exhaust stacks, etc. The PTG-9 will measure airborne Tritium as free hydrogen or as volatile chemicals in concentrations as low as 1 x 10-3 uCi/l of air. (37KBq/m3). All instruments are calibrated at the factory. Calibration check may be performed in the field with a microCurie level Beta or Gamma source. Background chamber may be disconnected to check linearity of response on a gamma calibration range. User friendly calibration controls are provided.

Tritium is radioactive hydrogen and hydrogen atoms regularly jump or exchange between different adjacent oil and water molecules.
In a mixture of normal water mixed with tritiated oil, both components will, over time, share the Tritium equally.

In GASEOUS Samples, the same principals apply.

  1. A vapor separation system is recommended.
  2. Use a PTG-9 Tritium Ion Chamber to make the measurements.
  • Ranges:
    • Compact, easy to read digital LCD readout.
