Dosimetry requirements, the number and frequency of mea- surements,andrecordkeepingrequirementswillvarydepend- ing on the type and end use of the products being processed. Dosimetry is often used in conjunction with physical, chemi- cal, or biological
27、 testing of the product, to help verify specic treatment parameters. NOTE 1In many cases dosimetry results can be related to other quantitative product properties; for example, gel fraction, melt ow, modulus, molecular weight distribution, or cure analysis tests. 4.2 Radiation processing specication
28、s usually include a minimum or maximum absorbed dose limit, or both. For a given application these limits may be set by government regulation or by limits inherent to the product itself. 4.3 Criticalprocessparametersmustbecontrolledtoobtain reproducible dose distribution in processed materials. The
29、electron beam energy, beam current, beam width and process line speed (conveying speed) affect absorbed dose. 4.4 Before any electron beam facility can be routinely utilized, it must be validated to determine its effectiveness. This involves testing of the process equipment, calibrating the measurin
