[ RadSafe ] rad monitor calibration

[Brent Rogers]

On a similar vein, does anyone know for certain how the beta-factor on ion chambers is determined?  I'm speaking of obtaining beta dose rates using (open window - closed window) * beta factor.

Unless you have the in-house expertise, I highly suggest that you leave the instrument calibration to the instrument vendor.  In any case, your instrument vendor should have provided you with an instrument manual when you purchased each of the instruments.  Look through the instrument manual to see if it lists any information about instrument calibration.  Do you own an instrument calibration source?  If so, also look up what the literature from calibration source manufacturer/vendor provides regarding instrument calibration.
