BF3 Neutron Proportional Detectors

MODEL DIAMETER ACTIVE LENGTH OPERATING VOLTAGE GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
G-5-1 5/8" 1" 1400 to 2100 volts, for 20 to 60 cm Hg. MHV connector. Widely used in portable instruments. ALMOST UNLIMITED LIFE

GUARANTEED FOR ONE YEAR

ENRICHED BF3. (99% BORON 10) specify Model G.

FOR DEPLETED BF3 (11% BORON 10) specify model F.

200 VOLT PLATEAUS with 1% slope per hundred volts in best part of plateau.

BACKGROUND OF < 7 COUNTS PER HOUR for Model G-10-12, less for smaller sizes.

CONSTRUCTION IS RUGGED. Counters are made to withstand shock and vibration.

NEUTRON SENSITIVITY for a Model G-10-12 filled to 40 cm is approximately 5cps/n/cm*2/sec. It is higher for higher pressures or larger sizes.

ARGON may be used with BF3 in any proportion specified.
