X-Ray Test Equipment




ECC X-Ray kVp Meter/Exposure Time Meter

Detailed Description
NEW! Built to Order
TYPICAL SALES LEAD TIME: 5-7 Business Days
WARRANTY: 2-year manufacturer warranty
ACCESSORIES: Operator Manual, Calibration Certificate, 4AA Batteries

Padded Cordura Carrying Case is an extra $45.

The Model 815 Measures the peak x-ray accelerating voltage from tungsten x-ray generators. To measure peak kV the user simply places the instrument in the beam and takes an x-ray. In addition to measuring kVp, the Model 815 also measures the exposure time and displays the x-ray waveform type. The Model 815 kVp Meter is optimized for Dental x-rays, but can be used on radiographic and fluoroscopic x-rays.

There is a high resolution mode which is used for measurements on older x-rays and x-rays with slow rise times.

The kVp Meter has a large display which is readable from outside the x-ray room.
