TA - Model Tri-Tracker-1 -Tritium Monitor
Technical Associates Tri-Tracker-1 is a portable flow-thru Ion Chamber that can be used as a Tritium Air monitor. It is a sensitive, rugged, and portable instrument for detection and measurement of airborne radioactive gases. Its` stable ion chamber and electrometer circuit decreases background effects to negligible levels and its optional deionized and filtered intake reduces to negligible levels spurious effects from smoke, dust and existing ionization in the air. It is battery operated with nominal 100 hour operation. Optional inlet and outlet hoses allow monitoring interiors of fume hoods, exhaust stacks, etc. The Tri-Tracker-1 will measure airborne Tritium as free hydrogen or as volatile chemicals in concentrations as low as 1 x 10-2 uCi/l of air. (370 KBq/m3 ).
All instruments are calibrated at the factory. Calibration check may be performed in the field with a microCurie level Beta or Gamma source. The chamber may be checked for linearity of response on a gamma calibration range. User friendly calibration controls are provided.
