Description of ASTM-C1189 2011ASTM C1189 - 11Standard Guide to Procedures for Calibrating Automatic Pedestrian SNM MonitorsActive Standard ASTM C1189 | Developed by Subcommittee: C26.12 Book of Standards Volume: 12.01 ASTM C1189Significance and Use SNM monitors are an effective means to search pedestrians for concealed SNM. Maintaining monitor effectiveness rests on appropriate calibration and adjustment being part of a continuing maintenance program. The significance of this guide for monitor users who must detect SNM is to describe calibration and adjustment procedures for the purpose. The significance of this guide for monitor manufacturers is to describe calibration procedures, particularly for detecting forms of SNM that may not be readily available to them. 1. Scope 1.1 This guide covers calibrating the energy response of the radiation detectors and setting the discriminator and alarm thresholds used in automatic pedestrian special nuclear material (SNM) monitors. 1.2 Automatic pedestrian SNM Monitors and their application are described in Guide C1112 , which suggests that the monitors be calibrated and tested when installed and that, thereafter, the calibration should be checked and the monitor tested with SNM at three-month intervals. 1.3 Dependable operation of SNM monitors rests, in part, on an effective program to test, calibrate, and maintain them. The procedures and methods described in this guide may help both to achieve dependable operation and obtain timely warning of misoperation.
