Component Specifications

Definition
The Access Panel is a critical component of radiation shield housings designed to allow safe and controlled access to internal systems while maintaining radiation containment integrity. It features a secure fastening mechanism, radiation-blocking materials, and interlock systems to prevent accidental exposure during operation.
Working Principle
Operates as a removable barrier that maintains radiation shielding continuity when closed. When opened, it provides a controlled access point for maintenance personnel. Radiation shielding is achieved through material density and proper sealing, while safety interlocks ensure the panel cannot be opened during active radiation emission.
Materials
Lead-impregnated polyethylene (2-5mm lead equivalent), stainless steel frame (304 or 316 grade), silicone gaskets for radiation sealing, quick-release fasteners (cam locks or quarter-turn fasteners)
Technical Parameters
  • Weight 5-15kg depending on size
  • Seal Type Silicone compression gasket
  • Fastening Type Cam locks or quarter-turn fasteners
  • Interlock System Electrical safety interlock
  • Panel Dimensions Standard 300x400mm to 600x800mm
  • Radiation Shielding 2-5mm lead equivalent
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to +80°C
Standards
ISO 4037, ISO 14117, DIN 25413, IEC 61508
