FH 40 G NBR Survey Meter

  FH 40 G NBR Survey Meter



Advanced NBR (Natural Background Rejection) technology automatically distinguishes between normal, natural background radiation and radiation from man-made sources. A thousand times more sensitive than normal gas-filled detectors, the unit can detect even the most minute amounts of artificial radiation.
   Product Detail


The detector of the FH 40 NBR is a complex combination of organic scintillator material, a NaI(TI) crystal and extremely fast evaluation electronics.

With this combination of detectors, an energy characteristic according to the ambient dose equivalent H*(10) is achieved.
The high efficiency of this detector allows an accurate determination of the dose rate within a few seconds and an immediate decision about whether it is natural or artificial radiation, using patented NBR (natural background reduction) software.  For obvious reasons, the FH 40 NBR is known by First Responders as the 'Blue Sausage'!

The famous blue NBR-detector and the Multi Purpose Survey Meter FH 40 G portable system has unique features: 

  • the NBR technique (Natural Background Rejection) differentiates between natural radioactive material (NORM) and artificial, men made sources   
  • tested and approved by TUV   
  • powerful detection of DU-material (Depleted Uranium) in the field 
  • high gamma sensitivity: 2800 cps/uSv/h   
  • 1000 times more sensitive than normal gas filled detectors   
  • measuring range of 1 nSv/h up to 100 uSv/h  and simultaneously measurement with FH 40 G up to 1Sv/h   
  • an artificial contribution of 10 nSv/h can be detected within a few seconds even in fluctuating background radiation fields in the range of 50 - 100 nSv/h.   
  • contaminated material or hidden sources are located fast and reliably
