PPE FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL EXPERIMENT
This Instrument is used for exploring the existence of radiation particles and measure the intensity of radioactive rays. When used, there kind of its out put units such as, Noise, Flasher, Counter will acted Synchronous. It is Simple to operate and easy to use.
A Geiger counter (also known as a Geiger–Müller counter) is an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation.
The use of Geiger-Müller Counters for Locating Radium and for Measuring Gamma-Ray Intensities.
The ionizing particle passing through the tube ionizes the gas and electrons so produced move towards Anode. The velocity is quite high and they later produce secondary electrons after repeated collisions with the particles of the gas.

The range of your Geiger counter tells you how much radiation you can measure. Typically analog meter Geiger counters range from 1 to 100 mR/hr. Although some can go as high as 500 mR/hr. With digital Geiger counters the typical range is 1 to 200 mR/hr.
‘End-window’ GM counters are still being used as a portable, general-purpose, radioactive-contamination measurement and detection-instruments, due to their less cost, robustness and high detection-efficiency especially with energy-rich beta particles.
