Detailed Overview

An intrinsically safe (IS) radiation survey meter certified for use in hazardous areas where Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) may be present. It is used to measure and monitor NORM levels on equipment and in the environment. The device provides a safe and critical tool for regulatory compliance and personnel protection, ensuring workers are protected from unexpected NORM exposure. It is available with dual probe capability (GM and Scintillator) for both surface contamination and dose rate measurement.

Intrinsically safe detector for measuring Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material in hazardous areas.

• This highly sensitive meter is specifically certified for use in explosive (Zone 1 or 0) environments, allowing the safe detection and measurement of radiation from NORM deposits common in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.
• It provides a clear digital dose rate and count rate reading, with live background subtraction for improved accuracy.
• The dual-probe system allows for both surface contamination measurement (GM probe) and dose rate measurement (Scintillator probe).
• The product is the intrinsically safe survey meter, batteries, and a rugged, anti-static carrying case.

Top Features & Benefits

• Radiation Survey Meter for Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) detection.
• Intrinsically Safe (IS) certification (ATEX/IECEx approved) for hazardous environments.
