CABV 31 Alpha and Beta Contamination Monitors for Clothes and Floors

Product catalog summary
Overview
The CABV 31 is a contamination monitor designed for detecting alpha and beta contamination on clothes and floors, primarily used at controlled area boundaries. It features simultaneous alpha and beta monitoring with automatic background subtraction, a large detection area, and both visual and audible alarms.

Features
  • Simultaneous alpha and beta contamination control
  • 200 cm2 gas flow probe
  • Rugged entrance double grid
  • Visual and audible alarms
  • Separate displays for alpha and beta counting rates

Description
The CABV 31 consists of three main components: a case with measurement electronics and displays, a disconnectable keyboard for parameter entry, and a measurement probe with a gas flow proportional detector.

Specifications
  • Nuclear: Meets IEC 60325 recommendations, gas flow proportional detector with 200 cm2 area, 0.8 mg/cm2 window thickness, and 49% grid transparency.
  • Measurement Time: 2 seconds.
  • Gamma Sensitivity: 40 c/s in beta channel per µSv/h (137Cs).
  • Typical Efficiency: 22% for 239Pu (alpha), 30% for 90Sr + 90Y (beta).

Ergonomics
