Providing Accurate Radiation Protection Calibration for Your Site

Keeping a facility up-and-running efficiently requires accurate equipment. To keep it running safely requires the same level of quality measurements in both your standard equipment and radiation protection (also referred to as rad pro) instrumentation. With proper instrumentation, personnel can maintain operations at the safest conditions, while minimizing possible delays or downtime. Even with the most advanced equipment, radiation protection will degrade over time and lose accuracy if not routinely maintained.

Fortunately, facilities can take action to prevent this by taking the necessary steps to ensure equipment is properly calibrated.

Calibration on Contaminated Equipment

Calibration is the process where instrumentation is measured, tested, and adjusted if necessary to maintain equipment accuracy. For personnel who may deal with possible instances and exposures to radiation, it’s important that their radiation protection equipment is regularly maintained and calibrated.

While rad pro equipment can be either contaminated or not contaminated, Constellation PowerLabs is able to service and calibrate both for you! It’s especially important that you find a qualified lab that can support the properly handling of your contaminated rad pro equipment as it requires following thorough processes and procedures.

If your rad pro equipment is not properly calibrated, it has the potential to cause large errors in radiation dose estimates. This can have serious health and safety implications if the equipment is not reliable. At Constellation PowerLabs, we provide quality calibrations to ensure both your contaminated and non-contaminated radiation protection equipment provides accurate and reliable measurement readings, every time.

Our Calibration Process

Our radiation protection calibration processes fall under a strict standard in regard to contaminated equipment. Constellation PowerLabs is licensed by federal agencies to have “controlled” contaminated equipment in several labs in our Coatesville facility. Our radiation protection instrumentation calibration is completed following NC3 323 specifications.

The calibration techniques and software we use in our labs are the same for both contaminated and non-contaminated components. No matter the component, our lab ensures the proper measurement readings and any inaccuracies.
