PIPE SCANNER LITE
Surface contamination monitor for pipe sections
Monitor for measuring surface contamination on pipe sections from, among others, nuclear power plant decommissioning and the oil and gas industry, on both internal and external surfaces. Up to five shielded NaI(Tl) detectors sit on a hand-moved cart along a base with a V platform and can be adjusted individually in height and orientation to the pipe geometry.
- Detector type
- Up to five NaI(Tl) scintillators 51 × 406 mm with PMT or SiPM; MCA with 1024–2048 channels2
- Energy range
- 40 keV–2 MeV2
- Total weight
- About 700 kg2
