Radiation Dose Rate Meter.

Abstract

THIS INVENTION RELATES TO COMBINED DOSE RATE METER AND CHARGER UNIT THEREFOR WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE THE USE OF BATTERIES BUT ON THE OTHER HAND PRODUCES A CHARGING POTENTIAL BY MEANS OF A PIEZOELECTRIC CYLINDER WHICH IS STRUCK BY A MANUALLY TRIGGERED HAMMER MECHANISM. A tubular type electrometer is mounted in a portable housing which additionally includes a Geiger-Muller (GM) counter tube and electronic circuitry coupled to the electrometer for providing multi-mode operation. Following a charging mode instant multirange measurements of local radiation in terms of dose rate is provided. (Author)
