3 XRF Corporation has begun shipping its new Model CP- 1 collimator and extension pole. Designed to compliment the XP-4 submersible probe, the CP-1 collimator provides directionality to provide the ability to make surveys in high background radiation environments. The adjustable extension pole allows precise positioning of the probe from a distance of 2-6 meters. The walls of the collimator are 2 cm thick, fabricated from sintered tungsten and housed in a rugged cold drawn aluminum housing. A compression fitting seals the collimator from water and contamination simplifying decontamination of the assembly. The XP-4 submersible probe can be attached to the pole without the collimator if desired. The standard aluminum extension pole utilizes non-rotating telescoping tubing that is 2 meters long when collapsed and extends to a full 6 meters. Construction allows flexible articulation of detector position.
