Devices
Survey Meter
• Inovision model 451B
• Air ionization
chamber
• Calibrated in R/Hr
• Gamma/X-Ray
• 20 keV to 2 MeV
• Digital and analog
readout
Inovision 451B
• With the slide open
• X-Ray 7keV - 30MeV
• Responds to but is not
calibrated for Beta
• Detects Beta energy
above 100 keV
• Alpha above 4 MeV
 Inovision 451B cont.
• Over range rate – if over 50 R/h are
received the display will blink
• Auto alarm – an audible alarm will sound at
1% of full range 0.5 R/h
• Integrate mode – exposures are
accumulated up to 999R
• Freeze mode – will show the peak value
received
Another Survey meter
• M15 Neutron counter
• Monitors fast and slow
neutrons
• Sensitivity adjustable
from 2 - 60 millivolts
• Range 0 – 500,000
counts/minute
