Calibrated Rod Sources
RadQual’s Calibrated Rod Sources are precision-manufactured, end-loaded sealed sources designed to provide stable, traceable radiation output in a durable Lucite rod format. Available in 3″ and 5″ lengths, each rod source is produced using NIST-traceable radioactive solutions to ensure accuracy and long-term reliability.
All sources are manufactured using gravimetric transference methods and verified using a Sodium Iodide detector or Dose Calibrator. Typical calibration accuracy is ±3% to ±5% (95% confidence level).
