Radioactive source

The high quality radiation sources are the most secure on the market Radiometric measurement systems require a radioactive source which emits gamma radiation. The radioactive material is safely held in a sealed and durable capsule, which guarantees safe handling - even under extreme measurement conditions. With in-house source production, we are able to produce the safest and most secure sources on the market. Benefit from our expertise and support in source design, sizing, handling, and replacement. Point sources Safety made by Berthold! A point source is a small cylindrical shaped capsule; about the size of a pen cap. The capsule contains an inner, even smaller capsule, where the radioactive material is sealed. For optimal protection, we also offer triple encapsulated sources, recommended for very corrosive environments. Our point source capsules are approved according to the international safety standard ISO 2919, well exceeding the requirements for the highest classification, 66646. They are also leak-tested according to ISO 9978 and DIN 25426. Our source capsules are made from either titanium or stainless steel, for the use in abrasive and high-temperature environments, withstanding up to 1200°C for 60 min. Rod Sources Best measurement accuracy! Our custom rod sources have the radioactive material distributed across the entire source length as needed depending upon the application, vessel geometry, and detector. For continuous level measurements this improves the linearity of the counts per second change at the detector to change in level, when compared to standard point sources, ensuring the highest accuracy with the simplest calibration.
