Chapter 6: Calibration Using Free In-air Measurements
6.3. Ionization chambers to be used
For HDR sources, chambers volumes > 0.5 cm
3
can be used (e.g. Baldwin-
Farmer 0.6 cm
3
chamber). For LDR sources, chamber volumes up to 1,000
cm
3
may be used for sufficient signal, but have large non-uniformity correction
factor uncertainties. For
192
Ir, chambers should have air-kerma calibration
factors vary less than 5% between
60
Co and 60 keV.
