ABG Pancake Probe
The ABG Pancake Probe utilizes a Geiger-Mueller pancake tube with 15.5 cm² mica window protected by stainless steel screen for beta and gamma detection. Dimensions measure 5.4″ × 2.7″ × 4.7″ with total weight of 1 lb (0.45 kg) for single-hand operation. Detection range spans 100 keV to 5 MeV across count rate capacity of 0–1.5 Mcpm with selectable dose units in cpm, cps, cpm/cm², or cps/cm². Onboard microprocessor and high-voltage circuitry eliminate high-voltage transfer across interface cables, enhancing operator safety during field contamination surveys.
Background readings register 60 cpm with protective shield or 100 cpm without, supporting detection in elevated radiation environments. Efficiency varies by isotope: C-14 at 10%, Tc-99 at 15%, Sr-90 and Y-90 at 19%, and Ru/Rh-106 at 25% for quantified activity assessment. Minimum detectable concentration reaches 100 Bq/cm² enabling low-level contamination identification. The probe integrates as a smart probe with RDS Base Unit connectivity, storing calibration data onboard and supporting hot-swapping between multiple probe types without recalibration requirements.
Radiation protection specialists deploy the ABG Pancake Probe in contaminated area surveys, decontamination verification, and personnel screening operations. Military and defense teams conduct radiological reconnaissance following potential exposure incidents. Industrial hygienists monitor equipment surfaces for residual beta/gamma activity during decommissioning projects. The removable clip-on protective shield guards the detector window during transport and high-background operations, while optional aluminum-clad lead shielding accommodates advanced survey scenarios.
Tactical Supply Pakistan delivers military-grade radiation detection systems meeting defense and industrial application standards through this ergonomic pancake probe design. Organizations ensure workplace safety and regulatory compliance with dependable contamination monitoring capabilities.
Can the ABG Pancake Probe operate independently without a connected RDS Base Unit?
The probe’s onboard microprocessor and resident calibration enable independent operation; however, display output and alarm functionality require Base Unit connection for full operational capability during surveys.
