If You Have Tritium In Water and Oil Mixtures: We Recommend This Strategy For Measurement Of Tritium

STRATEGY

Strategy for Measurement of Tritium in Oil / WaterTritium is radioactive hydrogen, and hydrogen atoms regularly jump or exchange between different adjacent molecules.
In a mixture of normal water mixed with tritiated oil, both components will, over time, share the Tritium equally.
In LIQUID Samples, this allows a separation strategy, in which we,

    1. 1. Pull a sample from the mixture
    1. 2. Run this sample through an oil-water separator
    1. 3. Collect the relatively clean water
    1. 4. Pull this water into the SSS-33M81 tritium measurement flow cell
    1. 5. Get a good reading

Without contaminating or degrading the cell

In GASEOUS Samples, the same principles apply.
1. A vapor separation system is utilized.
2. A PTG-9 Tritium Measurement Ion Chamber is used to make the measurements.
