Historical Standard: ASTM D3648-95 Standard Practices for the Measurement of Radioactivity
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D3648
1. Scope
1.1 These practices cover a review of the accepted counting practices currently used in radiochemical analyses. The practices are divided into four sections:
Section General Information 5 to 10 Alpha Counting 11 to 21 Beta Counting 22 to 32 Gamma Counting 33 to 401.2 The general information sections contain information applicable to all types of radioactive measurements, while each of the other sections is specific for a particular type of radiation.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
