Hex Nut Advantage

The Hex Nut Story

Our solution saves your back and lowers your exposure.

Hex nut story 1 Unit Dose PET Pigs have a unique hex nut on the base. All PET Pigs are encased in polycarbonate. No exposed lead – safe for automatic washing systems. Hex nut story 2 Unit Dose PET Pigs have a unique hex nut on the base. All PET Pigs are encased in polycarbonate. No exposed lead – safe for automatic washing systems.
Hex nut story 3


Mounted hex-shaped plate to facilitate one-handed loading
and unloading of pigs.

One-handed operation - using forceps remove the syringe and assay the dose. Place the dose in a PET syringe shield.
Note: The syringe shield is ready on a holder mounted to the chamber shield.
Hex nut story 4

Place the syringe shield in the Manual Dose Injector.

 Hex nut story 5 Finally, place
the Manual Dose Injector on the Compact Adjustable Height Radiation Shield.

The hex nut facilitates one-handed opening and closing of the pig, thereby reducing hand exposure.

Spectrum Analysis

Radioactive decay occurs randomly in time, so the measurement of the number of events detected in a given time period is never exact, but represents an average value with some uncertainty. Better average values can be obtained by acquiring data over longer time periods.

Neutron Detection and Counting

Neutrons have mass but no electrical charge. Because of this they cannot directly produce ionization in a detector, and therefore cannot be directly detected. This means that neutron detectors must rely upon a conversion process where an incident neutron interacts with a nucleus to produce a secondary charged particle. These charged particles are then directly detected and from them the presence of neutrons is deduced.
