NGT-TX2 Short Gamma Tool (182°C)
NGT-TX2
Ruggedized, Gamma Tool (1.36” OD)
The NGT-TX2 gamma tool is the next generation version of our NGT-TX. New patent pending electrical and mechanical designs push the operating temperature to 182°C and the vibration specification to 25 GRMS, 25% higher than competing tools.
Electronics
The NGT-TX2 contains CBG’s new patent pending electronics designs. Encapsulated and cushioned within pre-molded high-temperature silicone pads, the printed circuit boards are protected from extreme shock and vibration. A new and innovative technique for providing electronics temperature compensation ensures a more stable output signal through the full range of operating temperatures. A burst filter has been added to reduce spurious counts that can result from excessive shock and vibration, as well as external transient noise.
Mechanical
The NGT-TX2 has been completely redesigned without changing the overall mechanical dimensions of the NGT-TX. Included is a new patent pending approach to mounting the crystal and phototube for improved shock and vibration performance. No longer exposed to external noise or physical damage, the circuit boards and thru-wires are enclosed beneath metal covers. All load bearing screws have been removed for enhanced reliability.
