Can RADEX RD1503+ test for contamination for stuff that is inside a 50 gallon metal drum clamped with lids ?Would the clamped lid needed to be opened?

The instrument should be effective in this situation, but of course the concentrations of rad will be a factor

Couldn't tell you if mine is or not but rubbermaid was sold years ago and to my knowledge their production went over seas. As to this product... I don't use it... the idea was for it to seal and keep air out of the container. The lid doesn't snap and hiss... meaning that you want to push some extra air out by lifting a corner and pushing down the center of the lid... the lid then should be divot-ed down... that doesn't occur.

Have had no problem. I empty after using and leave lid open a little while.

I don't know--been using it for quite a while now. I will look on my container when I get home. Meanwhile, you might can Google it and get an answer.

I don't. I have a container that is pretty airtight. I have never had any problems.

it should be filtered in a jar, the jar is sealed on top to prevent contamination.

The pump is not rated for non-water base solvents and will probably self destruct. Most solvents are aggressive on silicone and rubber so the pump will likely have a short life unless it has Viton seals which are more resistant to solvents(fuels). I'm in the process of modifying mine to use solvent by retrofitting it with a cheap Airtex marine fuel pump, a 12v transformer, a Derale Oil Filter mount and a 10gal drum with a removable top to create a safe filtered solvent system. The drum stores any solvent while the cleaner is not in use. It is much safer than a basin full of what is effectively fuel. This is particularly important to me as I do metal fabrication in my garage. The pump is not rated for non-water base solvents and will probably self destruct.

Container wouldn't be a problem...lid got very brittle when I put it in there...I don't think it would be a problem..

I have just checked a new unopened canister and it seems to have settled. I turned it over a couple of times to unsettle it and the container appears fuller. I generally do this a couple of times between uses.

Every surface inside the Soyapower is stainless steel with the exception of a small probe which is a level sensor to stop the liquid from contacting any electrical parts. If you measure the amount of water that it calls for, I wouldn't expect it to reach the sensor level during normal operation. I usually strain my hot milks into a Pyrex jug rather than using the plastic one that comes with the appliance. I make almond milk and soy milk in mine and I'm very happy with the results.

Yes. There is a rubber gasket around it and the container goes into the lid and locks down with the red tab you see in the picture.

Holly, this is a field technicians, consumer grade, instrument designed to detect radiation. By design, it measures a very small percentage of the radioactive particles emitted by a test material. To get a precise measurement of the total radiation given off by a material the material would have to be sent to a lab and tested under controlled conditions. This said, my Radex detector has been the only means I have of removing radioactive liquids and foods from my diet. Last year, before I realized my food supply was contaminated with radiation, I was in constant pain and my feet were so swollen I couldn't get my shoes on. My Thyroid gland almost shut down I my doctors just gave me pain medication without trying to find the cause of my medical problems. I had purchased my Radex detector, I believe, in 2011 but never used it. Frustrated by not getting answers from my doctors I started looking for the cause of my medical problems myself. Within 24 hours after removing all the contaminated food stuffs from my home the swelling in my feet for the first time in months went down to the point I could put my shoes on again. In three weeks my Thyroid gland started to function again. It's been almost six months now and I am still pain free. I have made checking my food supply with my Radex a routine.

I have reused glass jars to vacunm seal dehydrated food. The jars need to have the rubberized ring on the lid. However I have not vacunm sealed liquid foods.There are videos on You Tube that are helpful.

The unsealed plastic containers do not present a problem for me. If the jars were sealed, it is possible that the un-sealing process could cause some of the powdery DE to float up and become airborne and the person who opened the jar might inhale some of the powder (although minor inhaling of this product that has the consistency of talcum powder is not a serious issue). Another reason the jars are probably not sealed is the fact that DE is mined from pure deposits from prehistoric freshwater lake beds. This product is not created in a lab and then purified or sterilized so there is no real reason to seal the jar to ensure purity. DE works in human and animal bodies to help remove and lessen the bad bacteria while not affecting good bacteria. It is pretty naturally pure so there no real reason to seal the jars. There is much information about DE at www.earthworkshealth.com that explains more of the benefits and usages of this amazing product.

Probably, at least on the top rack. The lid might be best left out, however, since it houses the string, which would be more difficult to dry than plastic parts if it gets wet. I, like others here, simply rinse the three components as needed. Most of the time, all that is needed is a thorough drying, accomplished by leaving it upside down in the rack or loosely assembled in the cabinet.

Hi D.A. I have one (purchased through Amazon) and the 1503 is a fine little pocket Geiger counter. Be sure to read the manual and understand its operation --cumulative 160 second timed averaging in particular. In answer: while food that's 100 or 1000 times more radioactive than the "safe to eat" limit^ might be noticed when scanned with the RD-1503, no Geiger counter can read food or beverage as being safe, nor can specific isotopes be identified for sure. That takes training, discipline, seasoned experience and thousands of dollars worth of gamma spectrometry equipment. The FDA and your state health department should be doing this work --but they seem to not want to know --or want us to know. ^ Interestingly, Japan's limit for radioactivity in seafood is 100 Bq/kilogram, while ours and Canada's is 1200 Bq/kilogram. It would be a crying shame if our fishing industry got put out of business simply for lack of testing and/or consumer confidence.

I really don't know. The top is metal that has a nice fitting lid with a rubber gasket. If something was acidic it may pit the metal.
