1.6mm 2.2mm X Ray Leaded Glass Shielding Equivalences In Medical Research

1.6mm 2.2mm Lead Shielding Equivalences Radiation Protection Lead Glass

Specification

Lead glass is a reliable form of protection that can be utilized in many different applications throughout the medical research and treatment field. Lead glass is created to protect against gamma-ray and x-ray radiation. The thickness of the glass correlates with the amount of radiation shielding it provides. For instance, glass with 2.0 mm Pb is 8mm (5/16”) thick and provides the equivalent amount of protection received from a 2 mm thick lead lined wall.

Application

LEAD GLASS PROTECTION AND USES

The reason Lead glass is so effective is that it is clear, so it provides protection while also providing an effective way to observe the patient or isotope on the other side of the glass. This helps medical professionals do their jobs effectively every day, whether it is observation and research or actively assisting in radiation tests with patients, without risking long-term radiation exposure.
