Effect of geotropism on instrument readings
Journal Article
·
· Health Physics, 91(5 (Suppl. S)):S55-S58
A review of gravity's effect on instrument readings, also referred to as geotropism. In this essay a review of meter movement construction and the effect are reviewed as it applies to portable radiation instruments. Reference to the three ANSI standards and their requirements are reviewed. An alternate approach to test for the effects is offered.
