Disclaimer. The wall thickness is a trade-off between maintaining the air effect with a thicker wall, and increasing sensitivity by using a thinner wall. Medical Physicist 2004 Mar;31(3):573-8 These laboratory conditions may change between SSDLs, one might have did the calibration with temperature as 20 and other might have done with 21 , so always its a best practice to refer calibration certificate for reference temperature and pressure.

Installed instruments can be used for measuring ambient gamma for personnel protection and normally sound an alarm above a preset rate, though the GeigerMller tube instrument is generally preferred where high levels of accuracy are not required. Comparison of the ion currents in the two chambers allows compensation for changes due to air pressure, temperature, or the ageing of the source.
