MONITORS
Overhoff
Technology Corporation (OTC) offers the world's largest
selection of monitors for the detection of airborne
tritium. This catalog will help you select the right
monitor for your specific application.
In
the past twenty years OTC has gained an outstanding
reputation for monitors that excel in performance and
are reasonably priced. OTC's experience in producing
hundreds of different types of monitors for different
users allows you to benefit from the company's design
expertise and economical production methods.
In
contrast to competitors who offer two or three models
of monitors, OTC offers more than a dozen basic instruments
for both fixed and portable use. In addition, each basic
instrument is available with numerous features and options
to precisely meet your needs.
SUPERIOR
PERFORMANCE
OTC
tritium monitors feature long life, accurate performance
and heightened sensitivity. Engineered to satisfy strict
military standards, OTC monitors adhere to the same
stringent quality guidelines when manufactured for industrial
applications.
There
is an OTC tritium monitor for every conceivable sensitivity.
OTC builds process instrumentation to measure from highest
level (pure tritium) to the lowest level (10-8 Ci/m3
or even 10-9 Ci/m3). In most cases, OTC monitors are
the only instruments capable of meeting these requirements.
They are uniquely designed to be insensitive to radon
background radiation, which would otherwise falsify
the essential tritium measurement.
OTC
monitors feature very low drift and noise characteristics,
they are able to maintain stable calibration indefinitely.
In addition, OTC tritium monitors maintain their measurement
accuracy under harsh, industrial environmental conditions
not just in laboratory conditions! A wide variety of
optional design features and capabilities are available
with OTC tritium monitors, including:
Prevention
of tritium oxide (HTO) contamination (plate-out).
Discrimination
against airborne radioisotopes, including reactor-generated
gases.
Capability
for measuring other radioisotopes such as Carbon 14,
Argon 14, Xenon 133, etc.
