About the X-RAY kVp Function
The 199XRAY Medical Scopemeter, when used with Fluke
Biomedical kVp Divider, automatically measure kVp
average and kV peak. In the radiographic measurement
mode, exposure time is also measured in milliseconds or
pulses.
The Fluke Biomedical Non-Invasive kVp Divider (Model
35080/A/B/M) is an alternative to high-voltage divider
tanks. It provides safe, non-invasive, fast measurement of
kVp without endangering personnel and/or equipment. Its
use is primarily intended for X-ray machine service and
calibration. The kVp Divider provides an analog output
voltage proportional to the instantaneous voltage applied
to the X-ray tube.
The X-RAY kVp function provides oscilloscope setups for
measurements using the kVp Divider and the following
filter packs on Input A :
•Wide Range Filter Pack
•K-edge Mammo Filter Pack
•Linear Mammo Filter Pack
•CT Filter Pack
•Mobile Pack Plus Filter Pack
•Low Range Filter Pack
For details on the kVp Divider refer to the 35080/A/B/M
Operators Manual.
