26、014 IEC 2014 17 bbRad1RtV =. 7.5 Response time 7.5.1 Requirements The manufacturer shall specify the response time of the assembly. NOTE This test is not relevant for instruments based on grab sampling or other short-term sampling methods. 7.5.2 Test method The test shall be executed in a radon refe

27、rence atmosphere established in a STAR under standard test conditions. When the activity concentration of 222Rn/220Rn is constant, the instrument shall be suddenly exposed to the test quantity established inside the STAR in order to achieve a step change. The duration between the instant of a step c

28、hange and the instant when the output signal reaches for the first time 90 % of its final value shall be measured and given as response time. NOTE A step change in the test quantity can be achieved by putting the instrument, which is already in operation, into the test atmosphere, or by turning on t

29、he sampling unit. 7.6 Signal accumulation 7.6.1 Requirements An integrating instrument shall be capable of accumulating and summing consecutive or simultaneous effects and storing the measured values permanently or for at least the duration of measurement. The integration can be performed electronic

30、ally by the signal processing system or passively by a measuring sensor that can accumulate the signals. The integrated value indicated by the instrument related to the conventionally true integrated value shall lie within the nominal tolerances given by the manufacturer. 7.6.2 Test method The test

31、shall be executed in a radon reference atmosphere established in a STAR under standard test conditions. The standard test conditions shall be kept constant during the test. The time period of accumulation and integration shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 8 Requirements

32、 and tests concerning air circuit performance 8.1 General These tests shall be applied to all instruments where the response depends on a known flow-rate through the sampling and detection assemblies (see Table 3). When it is demonstrated that one or more tests are not needed to assess the conformit

33、y with performance requirements, those tests can be excluded. The decision on exclusion of tests shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser. BS EN 61577-2:2017 18 IEC 61577-2:2014 IEC 2014 8.2 Flow-rate stability 8.2.1 Requirements The manufacturer shall specify the air flow-rat

34、e when the airflow system is used. After the warm-up time of the instrument, the relative error of the sampling flow-rate shall not vary by more than 10 % for the subsequent 20 h of operation. 8.2.2 Test method The test shall be carried out with dust-free air in order to avoid any variation of the p

35、ressure drop of the sampling device during the test. An air flow meter calibrated under measuring conditions shall be incorporated in the air circuit in order to measure the flow-rate after 30 min, 5 h and 20 h of operation. 8.3 Accuracy of the air flow-rate measurement 8.3.1 Requirements The manufa

36、cturer shall specify the accuracy of the flow-rate measurement of the air. The relative error of the flow-rate measurement shall not be more than 10 %. 8.3.2 Test method A flow-rate measurement device calibrated under measuring conditions shall be incorporated in the air circuit. Filtered, dust-free

37、 air shall flow through the air circuit under standard operating conditions of the instrument. The relative error of the air flow-rate measured after 30 min with respect to the air flow-rate specified by the manufacturer is to be calculated. 8.4 Effect of filter pressure drop 8.4.1 Requirements An i

38、ncreasing pressure drop of 10 % from the nominal pressure drop shall not cause a relative error regarding the indication of the instrument of more than 10 % under standard test conditions. The relative error shall be determined referring to a relevant radiation quantity indicated by the instrument.

39、8.4.2 Test method In order to identify the effect on the whole measurement chain, the test shall be executed in a radon reference atmosphere established in a STAR under standard test conditions. The standard test conditions shall be kept constant during the test. The test quantity shall induce an in

40、dication within the rated range. Before starting the test, the instrument is to be fitted with a clean sampling filter. A valve shall be inserted downstream to the air inlet. A calibrated pressure sensor relative to the atmospheric pressure shall be fitted to measure the pressure drop across the air

41、 inlet and the valve. EXAMPLE A U-tube or a differential manometer can be used as a pressure sensor. The pressure drop through the filter shall be measured by the pressure sensor; the indication of the instrument shall be registered. Then the valve shall be adjusted to yield a pressure drop across t

42、he filter of 10 % above the nominal pressure drop. The indication of the instrument at this pressure drop is to be registered and the relative error regarding the indication at nominal pressure drop is to be determined. BS EN 61577-2:2017IEC 61577-2:2014 IEC 2014 19 8.5 Indication of low sampling fl

43、ow-rate 8.5.1 Requirements The system shall indicate an alarm when the indication of the sampling flow-rate goes below an acceptable level. 8.5.2 Test method The system shall operate normally at the beginning of the test. The air sampling flow-rate shall be reduced to a level below the preset air sa

44、mpling flow-rate alarm level. An alarm level shall be activated. 9 Requirements and tests concerning environmental performance 9.1 Response to ambient gamma radiation 9.1.1 Requirements The instrument shall be designed in such a way that the influence of external gamma radiation on the measurement r

45、esult is minimized. The manufacturer shall state the differential change of indicated value caused by an ambient dose equivalent rate of 1 Svh1in relation to the indicated value at the lowest and highest limit of the rated range under standard test conditions. 9.1.2 Test method The gamma radiation t

46、est field shall be produced by a 137Cs source. At the reference point, the test field shall have an ambient dose equivalent rate of (1,0 0,1) Svh1uniform over a plane area of greater than the detector. The source shall be placed at a distance to achieve this. The ambient dose equivalent rate of the

47、external gamma radiation at the reference point shall be measured by a calibrated dose rate meter. During the test, the instrument to be tested shall be positioned with the detector at the reference point. 9.2 Ambient temperature 9.2.1 Requirements Over the ranges of temperature specified in Table 4

48、, the relative error shall remain within the limits specified in that table. 9.2.2 Test method This test shall be executed in a radon reference atmosphere established in a STAR under standard test conditions for environmental characteristics except ambient temperature. The measurement shall begin af

49、ter a thermal steady state has been reached and should last for a duration depending on the instrument characteristics. The temperature shall be maintained at each of its extreme values for at least 1 h, and the indication of the instrument measured during the last 30 min of this period shall be compared with the corresponding reading under standard test conditions.
