KI4U Radiation Lab Tested & Recently Calibrated
KI4U, Inc. is licensed and authorized by the State of Texas
(Bureau of Radiation Control License No. L05515). KI4U is the only
private, non-government, lab that specializes in calibrating high-range Civil
Defense instruments. These Dosimeters have been rigorously
inspected, tested and calibrated at the licensed
radiation calibration laboratory - KI4U. They are fully ready
for reliable, accurate and confident service in the field.
These units are taken through preventative maintenance, tests and
evaluations prior to calibration. After passing the KI4U lab calibration they
are then certified and a calibration sticker is placed on the unit showing the
calibration date and other relevant information.
These units may look slightly used cosmetically. This
package contains (1) Civil Defense CD V-742 Dosimeter. The dosimeter will have been successfully electrical leakage tested and
radiation exposure accuracy tested, using a specially designed rotating
carousel within the CD V-794 calibrator as specified by FEMA to achieve the
correct and uniform mid-scale radiation exposure test. They will have a
certification sticker indicating such on them.
The direct-reading pocket dosimeter is a portable instrument
designed to measure the total
accumulated dose of moderate and high levels of gamma radiation. The CD V-742 Dosimeter is worn on the outer
clothing in the chest area. It is
approximately 4.25" long, 0.5" diameter. Looking through the
eyepiece reveals how much radiation the wearer has been exposed to. The needle
moves farther over to the right the more it's been irradiated.
The instruments make use of a small quartz fiber electroscope as
an exposure detector and indicator. An image of the fiber is projected onto a
film scale and viewed through the eyepiece lens. The scale is calibrated in
roentgens (R) and may be read by looking through the eyepiece toward a lamp or
other source of light. A CDV-750 dosimeter charger must be used in conjunction
with the dosimeter to set the instrument to zero. The charger may also be used
to read the scale or you can hold the dosimeter up to any light source and look
through it.
The CDV-742 Dosimeter is an 'electroscope' it is electro
statically charged by the CDV-750 charger. The Dosimeter does NOT use a
battery. The only battery used is one 1.5V D-Cell battery used in the CDV-750
charger (charger and battery not included).
This meter measures your
TOTAL Accumulated DOSE, not how MUCH radiation you are getting PER HOUR. For monitoring radiation
dose per hour you will want something like the CD V-715 or CD V-717 High Range
Survey Meter or the CD V-700 Low Range Geiger Counter.
You may find CD V-742’s or CD V-750’s on EBay or other such sites
but they are almost always surplus items that have not been inspected, tested,
repaired or calibrated. Using an uncalibrated device
could expose you to dangerous levels of radiation.
Calibration can only be performed by a licensed radiation calibration lab such
as KI4U.
Don’t wait until a nuclear crisis occurs to order one of
these. Once a crisis occurs the demand will almost certainly outpace the
availability.
