When calibrated accordingly, these chambers can be used for measuring the quantities absorbed dose to water, absorbed dose to air, air kerma, or exposure in air, depending upon the type and quality of radiation and the relevant code of practice.  FC65-G ionisation chamber is intended for reference dosimetry and calibrations, while the FC65-P ionisation chamber is intended for daily checks of treatment machines and for any other use in the frequent routine application.

The chamber is designed preferably for the energy ranges of photons and electrons at medical accelerators. It can also be employed in X-ray beams with generating potentials from 70 kV and for gamma radiation of 137Cs and 60Co. The energy range of proton beams with available beam quality correction factors is between 50 and 250 MeV.

FC23-C Ionisation Chamber

The FC23-C is a shortened Farmer-type ionization chamber intended for absolute dosimetry of photon and electron beams at therapy level dose rates. Furthermore, these chambers are suitable for dosimetry in proton fields and for depth dose measurements and field profile analysis. When calibrated accordingly, these chambers can be used for measuring the quantities absorbed dose to water, absorbed dose to air, air kerma, or exposure in air, depending upon the type and quality of radiation and the relevant code of practice.

The chamber is designed preferably for the energy ranges of photons and electrons at medical accelerators.

Plane-parallel chamber

PPC05 Plane Parallel Chamber

The parallel plate ionization chamber PPC05 is designed for absolute and relative electron beam dosimetry above 2 MeV in the measuring quantity absorbed dose to water. It can be used for photon and proton absolute and relative dosimetry as well.

The construction materials are air equivalent conducting plastic Shonka C552 (housing, entry window and side walls) and highly insulating plastics PEEK and PPE. The collecting electrode material is graphitized PEEK. The chamber is constructed with a circular sensitive volume of planar geometry covered by a rigid 1 mm thick entry window. The small collecting volume with 0.6 mm plate spacing, 9.9 mm diameter and a 3.4-mm-wide guard ring enables excellent resolution in depth dose studies and requires a small perturbation correction. The chamber is waterproof and vented through a silicone sleeve

The parallel plate ionization chamber PPC40 is designed for absolute and relative electron beam dosimetry above 2 MeV in the measuring quantity absorbed dose to water. It can be used for proton beam absolute and relative dosimetry and for photon beam depth-dose measurements as well. The PPC40 is entirely made from PMMA; with graphitized electrodes. It is constructed with a circular sensitive volume of planar geometry covered by a rigid 1 mm thick entrance window. As an associated measuring instrument for precise absolute dose determinations, in reference dosimetry, compliance testing or installation and set-up of treatment machines or other equipment, it is recommended to use the reference-class therapy dosimeter Dose1. The PPC40 is waterproof and its cable is covered by a watertight silicon sleeve that allows for air ventilation.

NACP Plane Parallel Chamber

The NACP is designed according to recommendations of the Nordic Association of Clinical Physicists (NACP), Acta Radiologica Oncology 19,55.
