Use case: Saphyrad S, a state-of-the-art solution for detecting radiation in scrap metal Bertin Technologies 68280

The SaphyRAD S is a portable multi-probe radiation meter designed for radiation detection in harsh environments, including metal loads. Equipped with two internal detectors and combined with a high-sensitivity gamma probe, it effectively detects even the lowest levels of radioactivity and enables to protect your people. This feature is essential, especially when an alarm is triggered following the detection of radioactivity by a portal detector installed on an industrial site, such as a metal recycling center.

In such circumstances, the SaphyRAD S is an indispensable tool for rapidly establishing a safety perimeter around the vehicle. Its high-sensitivity gamma probe can then be used to localize the source of radioactivity precisely and isolate it from the rest of the load.

Enhanced safety: The SaphyRAD S detects potentially hazardous radioactive sources with the utmost precision, ensuring the protection of your employees and compliance with strict radiation protection regulations. It offers a wide dose rate range, from 0.05 µSv/h to 10 Sv/h, and an energy range from 50 keV to 3 MeV.

High sensitivity: Thanks to its state-of-the-art external gamma probe, the SaphyRAD S identifies radioactive materials even at very low activity levels, which is essential to avoid contamination of your metal shipments and dispersion of radioactive materials.

Ease of use: Designed with an intuitive interface, including a 3.5″ color LCD screen and a keypad with 6 large buttons, Saphyrad S is quick and easy to use, reducing training time for your operators. It’s also suitable for use with gloves.

Durability and reliability: The SaphyRAD S is designed to withstand the most demanding environments, offering an operating temperature range of -20°C to +50°C and IP65 protection, guaranteeing longevity and reliability in line with harsh industrial environments.

Its ease of use, combined with rugged robustness, makes the SaphyRAD S an essential tool for protecting your employees while ensuring compliance with current regulatory standards.
