List of Measurements Performed

Outcome

Measurement Tolerance Pass Fail

Dose accuracy ±5% Pass
Timer accuracy ±1% or ±0.33 ms Pass

Conclusions
This unit is acceptable for:
• Checking radiographic outputs over the range 40 to 125 kV and 0.5 to 200 mAs
• Checking exposure times over the range 50 to 500 ms

Our next scheduled checks on this equipment will be due in January 2023.
Note
This check does not constitute a full calibration of the equipment but is intended to give a guide to its accuracy compared to
instruments whose calibration is traceable back to national standards and to act as a baseline for future checks on the
consistency of the equipment.
