OSTI ID:4004567
An absolute and relative method of measurement was used to determine the qualitative characteristics of the soft x-ray irradiation (12 to 60 kv). An air ionization chamber was employed in the absolute method. All conditions for the x- ray reproduction were provided in this chamber. The relative method involved the use of apparatuses with diaphragmatic and wall chambers. Results of investigations of various materials used for the blinds of diaphmagmatic and the walls of thimble chambers are given. It was found that for practicai purposes, the most convenient are diaphragmatic chambers with blinds of beryllium and wall chambers made of caprolactam and terelene, with the wall 0.1 mm thick. These are recommended in manufacturing the RM-1m apparatus. (auth)
