Tungsten Alloy Radiation Room

Tungsten Alloy Radiation Room

Our tungsten alloys are used for radioactive source containers, gamma radiography, shields, and source holders for oil-well logging, and industrial instrumentation. High-density tungsten alloy radiation shielding in tungsten alloy inside radiation room also serve as collimators and radiation shielding in cancer therapy, as well as syringe protection for radioactive injections. When you need to direct a specific amount of radiation to a targeted area, tungsten alloy radiation room provides the control you need. Chinatungten's high-density alloys will continue to perform, even under extreme, high-heat conditions. We can provide tungsten alloy radiation room products as your requests.

Gamma radiation and X-rays are absorbed most effectively by high-density materials. Chinatungsten high-density materials are a family of tungsten alloy radiation shielding materials with densities 50% greater than that of lead. The high-density, good mechanical strength and excellent mach inability of AT&M materials make them ideal for shielding applications. Tungsten alloy radiation room products are our leader products. A variety of sizes and shapes are available in tungsten alloy radiation room. Tungsten alloy radiation room offered by us is qualified.

Why Use Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding?

Compared to traditional radiation shielding materials in tungsten alloy radiation room such as lead and boron carbide, tungsten alloy radiation shielding provide excellent density with small capacity. At the same tungsten alloy radiation shielding weights high density alloy can provide the same energy absorption as lead using 1/3 less material.

When the weight is certain, more density, more denser, and the thickness would be thinner. Tungsten alloy radiation shielding material could be made with thinner thickness but high absorption of radiation in high density. That is why tungsten alloy radiation shielding material is suitable for radiation shielding products.

During design of shielding, tungsten alloy radiation shielding is calculated according to requirements of shield to abate the multiple shielding materials' thickness.

Formula: K = e0.693 d / △1/2
K: Shield weakened multiple
△ 1/2: The tungsten alloy radiation shielding material of the half-value layer values
d: Tungsten alloy radiation shielding thickness, with the half-value layer thickness of their units, you need to half-value layer thickness of the quality of translation into the thickness of the material, divided by the density of the material can be obtained.
