Would this device be adequate to measure radiation from an X-ray unit?

No,this is for extreme high end gamma like from a nuke or reactor leak. I think you are looking for a more sensitive device like a DOS meter.

May be hard to say. The CDV-717 is used for high range radiation detection. Most civilian uses would require a low range Geiger Counter such as model CDV-700. If you are investigating for leaks in equipment, your best bet would be CDV-700 or a similar Geiger Counter in order to detect small leaks. Hope this helps.

I would not even consider trusting it for that purpose. I'm sure there are more job specific tools to measure the amount of radiation emitted by an x-ray machine. In a situation of an extreme emergency or disaster I might put it to the "Test". But otherwise I would not attempt it.

I have no idea if it even works there's a test button on it that works but will it detect radiation i have no idea and i hope i will never have to find out !

No. It reads the "black body" radiation from the first surface it encounters. I presume your cover is insulated so the temp measured would be that of the outside layer of the insulation. Use a temperature probe in your scupper that has a wire to the readout like they do for barbecues. Those even allow you to set alarms for over/under temp situations. Good luck!

That would depend upon which type of radiation you are referring to. This does measure electrical radiation, such as power lines and so forth. As to nuclear radiation, I don't know. If you have it near a power station it starts to go crazy. If I walk down the street where I live I get a few readings, then when I turn a corner where there are a lot of electrical power lines, TV antennas it goes nuts.

This is based on a geiger-mueller tube detector, so it will detect alpha radiation as well as beta, x-, and gamma radiation. i would check the manufacturer website if I were you to verify the suitability.

I used it to calibrate my desktop and laptop with no problems. If you want constant monitoring for light you have to have the device connected to that computer.

Although I have not used it for that purpose the meter is absolutely sensitive enough to detect very slight differences in volume.

Ryan, I think this scope should work well for you for that application. I think you will want a sine/square wave signal generator of some sort as well, so you can get a periodic signal you can see clearly on the scope.

You are looking at a low-frequency EMF meter. It measures EMF from mains electrical devices and other (very low frequency) EMF sources. You can use this type of meter to check EMFs from mains electricity, power lines, high voltage lines, electrical installations, sub-stations and transformers, house wiring, domestic electrical appliances TVs, computers, office equipment, factory machinery, vehicles (cars, trains etc). This meter is not designed to measure ionizing radiation (x-rays and gamma rays), or radio-frequency / microwave radiation, unless specifically stated.

I don't think so, because this unit is not designed for that purpose, in my case I need to measure surface only.

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

Radiation detectors only pickup decaying particles close by. You would need to be close to Fukushima area to detect anything serious. Unless you're going to Japan I would suggest something reliable and inexpensive like the www.amazon.com/International-Medcom-CRM-100-Digital-Radiation/dp/B006C4ZTEK .

NO. You should know you need an oscilloscope, this is a current measuring device and if you don't know the difference, you had best stay out of the circuit panel !

The device measures EMF, which is when electricity generates a magnetic field. The "radiation levels" in a phone are talking about something different most likely - probably they are talking about the microwaves that are sent from the phone to the tower. I do not believe this device will not measure that or the wifi signals that use radio waves.

Perhaps, but I have found it to be more useful for relative readings rather than absolute. I use it to assess my delta sat when I fly my airplane and have found the absolute readings to be suspect at times. If you are doing a sleep study of a single subject, perhaps. But if you are working to produce clinical data for some sort of a regulatory or clinical report, I would not recommend this product. Good luck!

I'm an x-ray technologist. X-rays do not remain in the body after exposure. The answer is "no".

I think that this would work very well. I have used this to measure temps on computer processors and heat buildup on electrical components. should do what you want.

No. This is only to find electromagnetic radiation from electricity running through wire. Like overhead power lines. You need a microwave radiation detector for wifi and cell phones. Like this one: Hf35c Rf Analyze (800mhz - 2.5 Ghz) - Perfect for Smart Meters Detection
