X-ray shielding

On this page:

 

Energy: keV Shielding material: thickness: mm

 

Attenuation factor: Attenuation times:


1- For "drywall" use gypsum as material (gypsum thikness in drywall = 12.7 mm) 

2- Build-up factors for X-rays between 100 keV and 300 keV were calculated using Trubey's table (lead and concrete only). 

3- For X-rays below 100 keV the Trubey's build-up corresponding to 100 keV was used (lead and concrete only).
