Gas sampler Echo PM Radio

ECHO PM Radio is an automatic constant-flow high-prevalence TCR Tecora sampler designed for monitoring and control of environmental radioactivity. The environmental contamination is detected by monitoring the main environmental and food chains. When radioactive substances, in the form of aeriform products (gases, vapors, etc..), are released into the atmosphere, they can give rise to radiation and / or internal radiation as a result of individual’s inhalation. ECHO PM Radio meets the features required for monitoring the radioactivity of airborne non-gaseous material, on membranes with diameters from 47 to 150 mm. It can be used both for routine sampling at low flow rate (30-140 l/min) and in radiological emergencies with flow rates higher than 140 l/min that allow to obtain high measurement sensitivities and to sample large volumes in a short time. Sampling with the PTS Head The external sampling line ends with a filter holder and is equipped with a PTS head (Optional). While most radionuclides are fixed to airborne particles, some volatile radionuclides such as 3H and 131I are not sufficiently retained by filters. Echo Radio PM can be used to sample 131I using special activated carbon traps located downstream of the filter, which contain an iodine-specific adsorbent surface.
