Pylon's Instrument Manufacturing Division offers several radon, thoron, and americium radioactive sources to assist with all of your radon and thoron measurement needs.
Click the source headings obtain a brochure with specifications and more information on the desired source.
Please note that these sources contain radioactive materials. Pylon requires a copy of the End User's Radioisotope License prior to the sale and shipment of these products.
The 3150A and 4250A are two sealed, passive radon check sources that are designed to assist with the operating point determination of Pylon and other monitors. These check sources use the same geometry as the Pylon Lucas type scintillation cell detectors.
The AM-241 is a passive Americium 241 disk alpha source. The WLx-AM is the AM-241 disk source mounted in a holder that is designed to mount to the WLx. The WLx-AM is used to verify the operation of the WLx.
The RN-150 is an active radon gas source that can dispense precise quantities of radon gas. The design allows for multiple samples to be obtained from the unit. This source may be used to provide radon gas to sealed detectors to allow for the calibration and verification of various monitors.
The RN-190 and TH-190 are passive radon and thoron daughter sources respectively. Each offers geometric and spectroscopic characteristics that are virtually identical to a filtered air sample. The exposed filters obtained from these sources allow the for calibration and verification of various monitors.
The RGS series of sources are sealed gamma sources that use radium as the source material. This general purpose source may be used for the calibration and alignment of gamma spectroscopy systems.
The 1025 and RNC are general purpose, flow through sources. The RN-1025 and RNC are radon sources while the TH-1025 is a thoron source. The 1025 sources are available in a wide variety and range of activities.
