Detecting Unit of Gamma Radiation
BDBG-15S is designed to measure ambient dose equivalent rate of gamma radiation in a wide range of values. Suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles, mobile robotic devices, and automated systems of radiation monitoring.
BDBG-15S is available in three modifications: BDBG-15S-09, BDBG-15S-23, and BDBG-15S-90, which differ in size and sensitivity of scintillation detector.
Measurement of ambient dose equivalent rate (DER) of gamma radiation
Scintillation CsI (Tl) detector with a photomultiplier for measurements in the 0.01 μSv/h to 50 μSv/h range (spectrum-dose function):
– 9 cm3 for BDBG-15S-09
– 23 cm3 for BDBG-15S-23
– 90 cm3 for BDBG-15S-90
Energy-compensated Geiger-Muller counter for measurements in the 50 μSv/h to 1 Sv/h range (except BDBG-15S-90)
High sensitivity regardless of minimum weight and dimensions
Ability to extend a measurement range up to 5 Sv/h (at request)
Availability of amplitude spectrum (1 024 channels)
High mechanical immunity
No microphone effect
