This International Standard gives guidelines for scintillation detectors nomenclature (identification) and standard dimensions of scintillators.
This Standard is applicable to all types of solid organic and inorganic scintillators used in detectors for scintillation counting and spectrometry.
The object of this standard is to define a standardized nomenclature for scintillation detectors in which most of the properties can be found.
The object of this standard is to standardize the dimensions of bare scintillators in order to facilitate interchangeability of non-encapsulated scintillators and to facilitate comparisons of measurements with encapsulated scintillators.
NOTE The identification label laid down in clause 2 of the present standard includes certain dimensions which may be expressed in millimetres or inches. The Sl system recommends the use of millimetres rather than inches.
