Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has beenestablished has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and

12、non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with theInternational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies

18、538; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the procedure for preparation,handling, testing, and use of the ethanol-chlorobenzene (ECB)dosimetry system to determin

19、e absorbed dose (in terms ofabsorbed dose to water) in materials irradiated by photons(gamma radiation or X-radiation/bremsstrahlung) or high en-ergy electrons. The system consists of a dosimeter and appro-priate analytical instrumentation. For simplicity, the systemwill be referred to as the ECB sy

20、stem. It is classified as areference-standard dosimetry system and is also used as aroutine dosimetry system (see ISO/ASTM Guide 51261).1.2 This practice describes the mercurimetric titrationanalysis as a standard readout procedure for the ECB dosimeterwhen used as a reference standard dosimetry sys

21、tem. Otherreadout methods (spectrophotometric, oscillometric) that areapplicable when the ECB system is used as a routine dosimetrysystem are described in Annex A1 and Annex A2.1.3 This practice applies provided the following conditionsare satisfied:1.3.1 The absorbed dose range is between 10 Gy and

22、 2 MGyfor gamma radiation and between 10 Gy and 200 kGy for highcurrent electron accelerators (1,2).2(Warningthe boilingpoint of ethanol chlorobenzene solutions is approximately80C. Ampoules may explode if the temperature during irra-diation exceeds the boiling point. This boiling point may beexceed

23、ed if an absorbed dose greater than 200 kGy is given ina short period of time.)1.3.2 The absorbed-dose rate is less than 106Gy s1(2).1.3.3 For radionuclide gamma-ray sources, the initial pho-ton energy is greater than 0.6 MeV. For bremsstrahlungphotons, the energy of the electrons used to produce th

24、ebremsstrahlung photons is equal to or greater than 2 MeV. Forelectron beams, the initial electron energy is equal to or greaterthan 4 MeV (3) (see ICRU Reports 34 and 35).NOTE 1The same response relative to60Co gamma radiation wasobtained in high-power bremsstrahlung irradiation produced bya5MeVele

25、ctron accelerator (4). The lower limits of energy given are appropriatefor a cylindrical dosimeter ampoule of 12-mm diameter. Corrections fordose gradients across an ampoule of that diameter or less are not required.The ECB system may be used at energies of incident electrons lower than4 MeV by empl

26、oying thinner (in the beam direction) dosimeters. The ECBsystem may also be used at X-ray energies as low as 120 kVp (5).However, in this range of photon energies the effect caused by theampoule wall is considerable.1.3.4 The irradiation temperature of the dosimeter is withinthe range from 40C to 80

27、C.NOTE 2The temperature dependence of dosimeter response is knownonly in this range (see 4.3). For use outside this range, the dosimetrysystem should be calibrated for the required range of irradiation tempera-tures.1.4 The effects of size and shape of the dosimeter on theresponse of the dosimeter c

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and hea
