This standard specifies the preparation method and test procedure for measuring the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation in water using a ferrous sulfate acidic aqueous solution dose measurement system. The system, also known as the Fricke dose measurement system, consists of dosimeters and related analytical instruments. This standard specifies the procedure for the determination of Fricke dosimeters by spectrophotometry. This standard applies to the measurement of gamma rays, X-rays (bremsstrahlung) and high-energy electron beam absorbed doses. This standard applies to the Fricke dosimeter dose measurement system for measuring absorbed dose under the following conditions: Absorbed dose range: 20Gy ~ 400Gy. Absorbed dose rate: ≤106Gy•s-1. Radiation energy: The initial photon energy of the γ-ray source should be greater than 0.6MeV; for X-rays (bremsstrahlung), the initial energy of the electrons used to generate photons should be equal to or greater than 2.0MeV; for the electron beam, the initial energy of the electrons should not be less than 8.0MeV (see ICRU Reports 34 and 35). Irradiation temperature of dosimeter: 10℃~60℃. This standard does not address safety issues associated with use, if any. The user of this standard is responsible for establishing applicable safety and health standards and determining applicable limitations prior to use.
