2.3. Radiation Profile – CTX
Testing
conditions
Testing c
onditions for the CTX were the same as for the S1 TITAN as described in
Rad

Differenc
es
between
in
struments
The CTX uses
the same mix of tubes and detectors used in The S1 TITAN
and
t
he open b
eam
profile is
the same. The angle of the X-ray beam is still 45 degrees, but is pointed toward the back
of the CTX, at the lid when open.
Due to additional shielding, the CTX is heavier than handheld models. When the CTX is used
properly, this shielding reduces measurable radiation outside the enclosure to background level.

The instru

–
 Using a
RadEye B20-ER meter.
 At 50keV and 39uA.
 Operating without a filter and with the 5mm spot size.
 Without a sample covering the opening at sample position.
