Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a colorimetric dosimeter including an indicator housing openable at one end and having a wall defining an interior space extending along the length thereof. The housing is partitioned into a first portion starting at the one end and a second portion following behind the first portion. A strip indicator defines a high-sensitivity region and is disposed in the first portion so as to conjointly define a clear through diffusion passage with the wall which extends to the second portion. A granular indicator defining a low-sensitivity region is disposed in the second portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A colorimetric dosimeter comprising: an elongated indicator housing openable at one end and having an inner wall surface defining an interior space extending along the length thereof; said housing being partitioned into a first portion starting at said one end and a second portion following behind said first portion; a strip indicator defining a high-sensitivity region and being disposed in said first portion so as to conjointly define a clear through diffusion passage with said inner wall surface in said first portion which extends to said second portion; and, a granular indicator defining a low-sensitivity region and being disposed in said second portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A colorimetric dosimeter comprising: an elongated indicator housing openable at one end and having an inner wall surface defining an interior space extending along the length thereof; said housing being partitioned into a first portion starting at said one end and a second portion following behind said first portion; a strip indicator defining a high-sensitivity region and being disposed in said first portion so as to conjointly define a clear through diffusion passage with said inner wall surface in said first portion which extends to said second portion; and, a granular indicator defining a low-sensitivity region and being disposed in said second portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The colorimetric dosimeter of claim 1, further comprising a permeable intermediate layer disposed in said housing between said first portion and said second portion for partitioning said high-sensitivity region from said low-sensitivity region.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The colorimetric dosimeter of claim 1, further comprising an impermeable intermediate layer disposed in said housing between said first portion and said second portion for partitioning said high-sensitivity region from said low-sensitivity region.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The colorimetric dosimeter of claim 1, wherein said housing is a tubular housing and said strip indicator is formed on a portion of said inner wall surface in said first portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The colorimetric dosimeter of claim 1, wherein said granular indicator is a granular bed filling said housing in said second portion thereof.
