Introduction

Conversion factors are used for the monthly output tests and for TG-51. There are separate factors for each. For the monthly output tests only, a combined solid water factor may be used that includes both the electrometer and the chamber.

Adding or Updating Equipment Calibration Factors

Adding or updating equipment calibration factors can only be done on existing measurement devices. Instructions on adding a new measurement device can be found in the article:  Manage Measurement Devices. Navigate to the Manage Conversion Factors page and click the Edit Calibration link for the desired measurement device:

Click the Update Equipment Calibration button to bring up Update Calibration Factors page:

For Ion Chamber measurement devices fill in the "N_D,w", "Calibration Date", and "Expiration Date" fields. Optionally a calibration document can be uploaded using the Choose File button. Next use the Sign calibration button to sign off on the calibration factors and then click the Save calibration button to save the calibration factors.

For Electron measurement devices fill in the "Settings", "P_elec", "Calibration Date", and "Expiration Date" fields. Optionally a calibration document can be uploaded using the Choose File button. Next use the Sign calibration button to sign off on the calibration factors and then click the Save calibration button to save the calibration factors.

Viewing Previous Equipment Calibration Factors

Navigate to the Manage Conversion Factors page and click the Edit Calibration link for the desired measurement device: 

Next click the View Older Equipment Calibration button to bring up the Older Calibration Settings for Measurement Device page:
