Ionization Chambers

An ionization chamber is a gas-filled detector. Ionization chambers are widely used to detect and measure various types of ionizing radiation, including X-rays, alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation. Exposure to ionizing radiation causes the chamber's filling gas to ionize, accumulating charges at the anode and cathode. The movement of these charges creates a weak electric current in the external circuit. This current is what is measured. Its magnitude is proportional to the number of ion pairs created by the radiation. The generated current cannot distinguish the energy of different types of radiation, but it provides a very good indication of the overall ionizing effect.

Ionization chambers are widely used in dosimetry and radiation safety, medical physics, nuclear energy, and scientific research.

For several years, NPF Consensus LLC has been assembling and filling ionization chambers according to customer specifications. You can contact us regarding ionization chamber manufacturing by visiting the Contact page and sending us an email request. You can also contact our technical specialists.
