Radiation Instrument Calibration
Our ISO 9001-accredited service ensures your monitoring equipment meets the rigorous annual examination standards required by IRR 17 (formerly IRR 99), performed in strict accordance with GPG 14.
At Raditech, we believe that a calibration is only as good as the uncertainty we can eliminate. Inaccurate readings often stem from minor human errors, such as parallax—the visual displacement caused by viewing a scale from an angle. To provide an uncompromising level of precision, we have moved beyond manual methods and engineered a proprietary, automated solution that removes human guesswork from the equation.
The Raditech Automated Calibration Suite
Our facility utilizes a custom-designed, computer-controlled calibration unit that ensures your instrument is positioned within the radiation field to an accuracy of 0.1mm. By leveraging advanced engineering, we provide a calibration environment that is as safe as it is precise:
Pneumatic Field Control: The radiation source is deployed via a pneumatic system within a fully interlocked housing. This ensures ALARP compliance and the highest level of safety for our engineers.
Bespoke Instrument Housing: Rather than using “universal” mounts, we utilize custom-machined housings for each specific instrument model, guaranteeing perfectly repeatable placement within the field.
Optical Verification: We utilize high-resolution cameras mounted at fixed, calculated coordinates to record and analyze meter readings. This eliminates parallax error and provides a verifiable digital audit of the instrument’s performance.
Real-Time Accuracy: To account for source decay and environmental variables, the magnitude of our radiation field is calculated and verified daily.
This systematic approach ensures that when your equipment is returned to site, it isn’t just “checked”—it is precision-aligned to national standards, providing you with total confidence in your radiation safety measurements.
