FHT 59 Si Alpha/Beta-Aerosol Monitor

Maintenance-free monitor for artificial alpha and beta activity concentration in aerosols using a semiconductor detector, for ambient air monitoring networks and stack emissions monitoring.

The FHT 59 Si measures aerosol-bound artificial alpha and beta activity concentration using a semiconductor detector. It is designed for ambient air monitoring networks and stack emissions monitoring systems.

  • Discriminates artificial from natural alpha activity with an ion-implanted silicon (PIPS) detector
  • Low-maintenance long-term operation based on step filter mechanics
  • Direct read-out of measured values in Bq/m³
  • Menu-driven calibration procedure with a complete track record of efficiency data
  • Low-noise, maintenance-free gas ring vacuum pump with an air flow of approx. 8 m³/h
  • Measuring electronics of the FHT 8000 under Windows, with RS232 and optional LAN coupling
