Description

Versatile Radiation Detection

The General Purpose Bare Geiger-Muller Tubes from Exosens are designed to provide accurate and consistent detection of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Using halogen-quenched gas mixtures, these tubes achieve stable and precise counting rates, making them ideal for applications across defense, nuclear research, industrial control, biomedical fields, and environmental monitoring. Their design ensures low background counts, enabling precise detection even in sensitive scenarios.

Reliable and Efficient Operation

These Geiger-Muller tubes are engineered for long-term durability and rapid response. With low dead time ranging from 90 to 200 µs, they ensure quick detection of radiation events. The plateau slope is tightly controlled (<0.04–0.04 %V), maintaining consistent readings across a broad dose rate range of 10−3 to 102 mGy/h. This makes them compatible with both portable radiation monitors and fixed safety systems.

Flexible and Application-Ready

Available in multiple types such as ZP1200, ZP1400, and ZP1401, these tubes accommodate different sensitivities and length requirements. They are suitable for alpha, beta, and gamma detection in diverse applications, including nuclear power plants, research reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), defense surveillance systems, industrial non-destructive testing, and waste management. The tubes’ robust design ensures they perform reliably under demanding conditions while maintaining consistent measurements.

By combining high sensitivity, stable operation, and versatility, the General Purpose Bare Geiger-Muller Tubes offer a trusted solution for radiation detection across multiple industries and environments.
