GMS595
Wide-Range Gamma Dose-Rate Monitor
Developed in partnership with AWE the GMS595 wide-range gamma dose rate monitor combines the measurement range of a suite of gas-filled detectors into a single hand-held instrument.
Capable of accurately measuring dose-rates from nSv/hr to Sv/hr, the GMS595 is simple to operate, quick to set up, environmentally stable and now the standard gamma dose-rate instrument across site at AWE.
Energy Range and Accuracy
The GMS595 boasts an impressive energy response from 32 keV to 7 MeV, covering the entire gamma radiation spectrum. Unlike conventional gas-filled detectors, which require warm-up time and are affected by temperature and pressure, the GMS595 operates seamlessly without delays. From nano Sieverts per hour (nSv/hr) to 1 Sievert per hour (Sv/hr), this instrument provides accurate measurements across the entire dose-rate spectrum.
Instant Detection Capability
Operators no longer need to wait minutes for their instruments to stabilise. With the GMS595, detection capability is instantaneous: just two seconds from power-on. This efficiency significantly enhances field operations, allowing professionals to focus on tasks without unnecessary delays.
Pulsed Gamma and X-ray Fields
The latest development in the GMS595’s capabilities is its ability to measure dose rates in pulsed gamma and x-ray fields. This breakthrough extends its applications beyond traditional gamma monitoring. Now, radiation protection professionals can confidently use the GMS595 for non-destructive testing (NDT) and shielding surveys, even in high-powered betatron and x-ray generator environments.
