Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding - Nuclear Medical Radiation Shielding 9- Density 18.5g/cc
Description
Since tungsten alloy(heavy alloy) is ideal for shielding against X rays and gamma radiation. The very high density of tungsten shielding (more than 60% denser than lead) allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components, without compromising their rigidity or the effectiveness of the shielding characteristics.
They are always used as radioactive source and transport containers, FDG container, PET syringe shields and vial shield in isotope production, transport, and containment.
Advantage of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shielding
The density of Tungsten Alloy Radiation Shieldingmaterial is related to its radiation stopping ability. Higher density means better stopping and absorbing radiation ray . Due to a higher density than most other materials, tungsten radiation shielding has a much higher ability of absorbing and stopping almost rays than others metals such as the traditional radiation shielding - lead. Tungsten radiation shielding greater linear attenuation of gamma radiations means that less is required for equal shielding.
