Farmer® Ionization Chamber 30010

Classical therapy chamber for reference dosimetry in high-energy photon, electron and proton beams

  • Acrylic wall, graphited
  • Aluminum central electrode
  • Sensitive volume 0.6 cm3 , vented
  • Reference class in accordance with IEC 60731 and AAPM TG-51 Addendum

The 30010 Farmer chamber is a wide spread ionization chamber for reference dose measurements in radiation therapy.
Correction factors needed to determine absorbed dose to water or air kerma are published in the pertinent dosimetry protocols.

The acrylic chamber wall ensures the ruggedness of the chamber.
The chamber is designed for the use in solid state phantoms and therefore not waterproof.
