Testing and inspection - Continued. 5/ After the holding period, starting voltage shall not vary by more than 7 volts. 6/ The tube shall be mounted vertically in the lead shield (see figure 3) of the excitation unit. 7/ The tube shall have been inoperative for a

18、24-hour period prior to test. 8/ Beta reference source shall be in position as specified in 3/. 9/ Test shall be performed with the assembly shown on figure 3 in a 1.4 mr/hr Cobalt-60 radiation field (calculated). 10/ The tube shall be tested only with its longitudinal axis vertical and parallel to

19、the direction of motion. The tube shall be mounted by means of a rigid clamp at the base of the tube. 11/ The tube shall be tested only with its longitudinal axis horizontal and parallel to the direction of motion of the hammer. The tube shall be mounted by means of a rigid clamp at the base of the

20、tube. 12/ This test shall be performed at the conclusion of the holding period. 13/ All tube windows shall be tested to assure that they can withstand an internal pressure of half of an atmosphere less than ambient pressure. 14/ The shelf life requirements shall be as follows: (a) Tubes tested and a

21、cquired in accordance with this document shall be capable of a shelf life for a period of 18 months after the date of shipment from the manufacturers plant. At any time during this shelf life period the tubes shall be capable of meeting all requirements of conformance inspection, part 1, as specifie

22、d herein. Tubes found to be defective within the shelf life period shall be replaced by the manufacturer at no cost to the Government. (b) A shelf life of 90 days with the conformance inspection, part 1, starting voltage test shall be instituted during continuous production, but shipments of that mo

23、nths production shall not be held pending completion of the test. Tubes shall be considered to conform to this document when three of the four tubes for each of the first 3 months production and 75 percent of the cumulative quantity pass the test. If either of the above conditions are not satisfied,

24、 shipments shall be halted until three or four tubes of current production conform to the starting voltage test. 15/ The relative plateau slope requirements shall be with the discrimination level of the scaler set at 0.25 V 10 percent for standard Geiger-Mueller counter tube operation, and accomplis

25、hed in accordance with the following steps: (a) With the equipment in operation and prepared for counting, set the high voltage adjust control to obtain 1,400 V dc. (b) Mount standard reference source SBRS on the sample positioning shelf, place the shelf in position 1 of the tube, mount assembly and

26、 count for 5 minutes at 1,400 V dc. A new Geiger-Mueller counter tube (one that has not been used for a month or more) should be counted for 15 minutes rather than 5 minutes. It is not necessary to record the count rate obtained in this step. (c) If the background is unknown, remove SBRS and obtain

27、and record a 20 minute background count rate (cpm). (d) Place SBRS on the sample positioning shelf; place shelf in position 1 of the tube mount assembly. CAUTION If at any time while performing steps 16e through 16g it becomes apparent that the tube under test is in continuous discharge (rapidly inc

28、reasing count rate for a constant value of applied voltage), immediately set high voltage adjust control to 1,200 V dc. Determine if tube damage has occurred by raising the voltage in 50 V dc increments every 5 minutes. Do not exceed a high voltage setting of 1,500 V dc at any time. Otherwise contin

29、uous discharge will damage the tube. If continuous discharge occurs, again, replace tube.

(e) Count SBRS for 100,000 counts minimum in the

30、same position at 1,300 V dc and determine and record count rate in counts per minute (cpm). Count rate N1 equals total count divided by counting time in minutes minus background. (f) Count SBRS for 33,333 counts minimum in the same position at 1,400 V dc and determine and record count rate in counts

31、 per minute. Count rate N2 equals total count divided by counting time in minutes minus background. (g) Count SBRS for 100,000 counts minimum in the same position at 1,500 V dc and determine and record count rate in counts per minute. Count rate N3 equals total count divided by counting time in minu

32、tes minus background. (h) Determine plateau slope in percent as follows: Percent per 100 V dc slope equals 100 times (N3 minus N1) divided by the quantity (N3 plus N1). This result shall be less than or equal to 3 percent per 100 V dc. (i) The measured count rate N2 shall be within 10 percent of the

33、 quantity, (N1 plus N3) divided by 2. 16/ Each tube shall be packaged in a container capable of withstanding pressures in the range of 87.3 to .760 mmHg. 17/ Spurious pulses of amplitude greater than four volts shall not occur after four minutes of operation. 18/ A new Geiger-Mueller tube (one that

34、has not been used for a month or more) should be counted at 1,400 V with standard reference source SBRS on shelf in position 1 of the tube-mount assembly for 15 minutes before starting voltage is measured. 19/ Starting voltage test circuit: 20/ The manufacturer, with the approval of the qualifying a

35、ctivity, may perform this test on a periodic basis, versus performing the test on every lot. Approval will be based on demonstrating to the qualifying activity the capability of the design to meet this requirement. If the design, material construction or processing of the tube is changed or if there

36、 are any quality problems, the qualifying activity may require resumption of the original testing frequency. This allowance does not relieve the manufacturer from meeting the test requirements in case of dispute. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license fr
