Compact, Lightweight Ir-192 Gamma Ray Projector

The GammaMat TSI 5/1 is the latest model in the GammaMat Series.
It is the product of many years of development of gamma radiography
devices for the universal application of Ir-192 sources. It
incorporates a straight source channel, and a completely new,
patented radiation labyrinth made of tungsten. The GammaMat TSI 5/1
uses no uranium moving parts, and it is smaller and lighter than the
conventional S-channel devices. The GammaMat TSI 5/1 meets all the
requirements
of the ISO 3999:2000 standards.
Unparalleled Safety
A green/red indicator shows whether the source is in the safe
position. This indicator is easily visible, even from a
distance. The automated source securing mechanism of the GammaMat
TSI 5/1 does more than detect the return of the source holder into
the unit, it checks the arrival of the source capsule into its safe
position.
Safe
The GammaMat TSI 5/1 self-shielding link-type source holder and
patented radiation labyrinth keep radiation far below 2 mSv/h at the
front and back ends of the source channel. The GammaMat TSI 5/1 is the
only device to incorporate a real source position indicator. The
source holder can only be released if the remote control and the
source guide tube are properly connected. When in the retracted
position, the source holder is automatically locked and the source
is shielded.
Regulatory Approvals
The GammaMat TSI 5/1 is type B(U) approved and satisfies all the
requirements of the ISO 3999:2000, ANSI N43.9, N432 (United States)
and DIN 54115 (Germany and EU).
