2 Way Mobile Tritium-In-Air Monitor
Model 7003
The 2-Way Mobile Tritium Monitor with battery backup is ideal for measuring tritium in remote locations. The system comes with two sample tubes mounted on stands, real time measurement, backup bubbler totalizing, auto zeroing and dual local and remote alarms. The system can be easily connected to a computer for data logging.
- Two independent sample points for comparison measurements.
- Measures down to 1µCi/m³.
- More than 90% accuracy in 20 mR/hr field.
- Real time measurement.
- Fully mobile, mounted on a rugged stainless steel cart.
- Battery backup for up to 8 hours of monitoring.
- Backup bubbler totalizer.
- Independent flow control for each channel.
- Data logging when connected to a laptop.
- One touch auto-zeroing.
- Two local/remote alarms per channel.
The 2-way Mobile Tritium-in-Air Monitor is designed for field measurements of tritium in air. The system is packaged in a rugged stainless steel cart that can be wheeled to the desired sampling area.
The two sampling points are mounted on stands and connect to the system using 20 feet of chemical resistant tygon tubing. The entire system can be operated either from an AC outlet or in battery mode which allows up to 8 hours of run time.
Each sample point is an independent channel with adjustable flow. The sample points each have real time measurement, a backup bubbler for totalized measurement, two local audible and visual alarms and RS232 output for computer data logging. Each channel is auto ranging and can measure from 1 µCi/m³ (or 0.1 Bq/m³) to 10 Ci/m³ ( or 370 Bq/m³). Each channel has a fast, 10 second response time.
Environmental effects on the offset of the measurements become more pronounced due to the mobile nature of the system. The one touch, auto zeroing of the system helps to correct for these offsets. The dual sampling points also allow for a “clean” background reading that can be compared to the active channel to remove offsets such as gamma radiation.
The real-time measurements are made using ionization chamber technology. The air from the sample point is first pumped through the ionization chamber for real time measurement and then through a water bubbler which will strip out all of the tritium oxide. In this manner the total contribution from elemental tritium to tritium oxide may be calculated after an experimental run by subtracting the integration of the real time measurement from the totalizing bubbler.
The mobility and ease of use has made this system a favorite from the Canadian Department of Defense for measuring the plume created by cutting tritiated gun sights to the Idaho National labs for measuring the void space in shipping crates.

Determines the amount of tritium in the laboratory atmosphere via concentration of tritium absorbed into the Passive Diffusion Cell.
Tyne's tritium bubbler system collects workspace or environmental samples from ambient air. With the recognized fast conversion dynamic of free tritium to THO, the requirement for a catalytic furnace to convert free Tritium into THO prior to sampling is avoided and a direct three stage bubbler system implemented.
In order to provide customers with the desired flexibility, Tyne Engineering has developed an external pump box that can be utilized with all of our tritium monitoring instruments, providing reliable, continuous, long term operation beyond the design life of the instrument internal pumps.desired.
This system was designed by Tyne for the capture of tritium and carbon-14 from biological and environmental samples by pyrolysis followed by high temperature catalysis to THO and CO2. The evolved gases are captured in bubblers for THO capture followed by bubblers for CO2 capture. The resulting bubbler samples are analyzed using a laboratory liquid scintillation counter.
