Ludlum Model 14C Survey Meter

External Probe and Internal high range G-M probe

for Nuclear Medicine Applications

model 14C radiation survey meter

The Ludlum Model 14C survey meter was designed to meet nuclear medicine requirements. The Model 14C is similar to the Model 3, but with an internal energy compensated G-M detector. It can be used with one or more external GM or scintillation detectors for alpha, beta, or gamma detection up to 0-200 mR/hr. This additional internal detector creates fifth high range of 0-2000 mR/hr in addition to the four ranges covered by the external probe. It is used in hosptials, universities, power plants and regulatory facilities. Standard scale is 0-2 mR/hr with five counting ranges: x0.1, x1, x10, x100, and x1000. (Dual scale cpm & mR/hr are available on request). Two “D” cells provide over 200 hours of operation. The Model 14C is supplied as shown with built-in speaker.

Digital versions of this type of survey meter are also available.
