Precautions for domestic activity meters
Domestic activity meter is an instrument used to measure the activity of radioactive substances. When using a domestic activity meter, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Calibration: Before use, it needs to be calibrated according to the operating instructions. Without calibration, measurement results will be inaccurate.
2. Avoid contact: Do not allow the activity meter to come into contact with any form of magnet as this may affect its accuracy.
3. Placement: The activity meter should be placed on a stable surface and protected from direct sunlight and vibration.
4. Reading: When taking readings, direct contact with the measurement window should be avoided to avoid radiation damage to the human body.
5. Storage: When not in use, the activity meter should be stored in a dry, ventilated place and away from direct sunlight.
6. Periodic Checks: The accuracy of the activity meter should be checked regularly to ensure that it is correctly measuring radioactive material activity.
