Full Description

1.1 This practice covers procedures for using hermetically-sealed polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) dosimeters for measuring absorbed dose in materials irradiated by photons or electrons in terms of absorbed dose in water.

1.2 This practice covers systems that permit absorbed dose measurements under the following conditions:

1.2.1 The absorbed dose range is 0.1 to 50 kGy.

1.2.2 The absorbed dose rate is 1 X 10-2 to 1 X 107 Gy[dot]s-1.

1.2.3 The radiation energy range for photons is 0.1 to 50 MeV, and for electrons 3 to 50 MeV.

1.2.4 The irradiation temperature is -78 to +50
