1、ISO/ASTM 51026:2015(E)Standard Practice forUsing the Fricke Dosimetry System1This standard is issued under the fixed designation ISO/ASTM 51026;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.1.Scope1.1 This
2、 practice covers the procedures for preparation,testing and using the acidic aqueous ferrous ammonium sulfatesolution dosimetry system to measure absorbed dose to waterwhen exposed to ionizing radiation.The system consists of adosimeter and appropriate analytical instrumentation.Thesystem will be re
3、ferred to as the Fricke dosimetry system.TheFricke dosimetry system may be used as either a referencestandard dosimetry system or a routine dosimetry system.1.2 This practice is one of a set of standards that providesrecommendations for properly implementing dosimetry inradiation processing,and desc
4、ribes a means of achievingcompliance with the requirements of ISO/ASTM Practice52628 for the Fricke dosimetry system.It is intended to be readin conjunction with ISO/ASTM Practice 52628.1.3 The practice describes the spectrophotometric analysisprocedures for the Fricke dosimetry system.1.4 This prac
5、tice applies only to gamma radiation,X-radiation(bremsstrahlung),and high-energy electrons.1.5 This practice applies provided the following are satis-fied:1.5.1 The absorbed dose range shall be from 20 to 400 Gy(1).21.5.2 The absorbed-dose rate does not exceed 106Gys1(2).1.5.3 For radioisotope gamma
6、 sources,the initial photonenergyisgreaterthan0.6MeV.ForX-radiation(bremsstrahlung),the initial energy of the electrons used toproduce the photons is equal to or greater than 2 MeV.Forelectron beams,the initial electron energy is greater than 8MeV.NOTE1The lower energy limits given are appropriate f
