Description

A series of type tests recommended by international standards was applied to the gamma radiation monitoring survey meters (Geiger-Mueller type, ionization chambers and a scintillator) commonly used in Brazil. The objective was to establish a routine test methodology to be applied to new and to repaired instruments. The tests included the verification of energy and angular dependences, variation of response with the battery voltage and intrinsic errors. (author)
