Calibrate radiation detector monitor survey meter here
This calibration service is available for any Civil Defense radiation detector survey meter or geiger counter with any of the following designations; CDV-700, CDV-710, CDV-715, CDV-717, CDV-720, CDV-457, CDV-781, CDV-757.
If any unit requires repair work before calibration can be attempted, you will be contacted before proceeding.
KI4U, Inc. is licensed and authorized to offer professional radiation Calibration Certification Services for Civil Defense...
* Survey Meters (CD V-710, CD V-715, CD V-717 and CD V-720)
* Geiger Counter based instruments (CD V-700, CD V-457, CD V-781 and CD V-757)
* Dosimeters (CD V-138, CD V-730, CD V-740 and CD V-742)
* Other radiation detector & monitor instruments - Call or e-mail us for a quote.
These same-type FEMA Civil Defense survey meters and dosimeters, listed above, are in current use by thousands of Fire Depts, Haz-Mat teams and First Responders from across the country. More detailed information on all these radiation detection and monitoring instruments can be seen at the FEMA Civil Defense Rad Meters, Geiger Counters and Dosimeters FAQ.
Typically, amongst surplus meters the public might attain from various sources, we see only about 45% that are functioning sufficiently enough to even have calibration attempted on them without repair work first.
While most of these meters actually do pass the basic 'circuit check' test, they often still require essential repair work before calibrating.
Also, without exception, all surplus Civil Defense meters, whether they needed some repair work first or not before attempting to be calibrated, still had to have that calibration adjustment and fine-tuning to bring them back into even the minimum required accuracy specified to be certified.
IF you are acquiring one for possible personal use in a future nuclear emergency, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT IT BE RECENTLY CALIBRATED & CERTIFIED ACCURATE!

Circuit Check testing of Civil Defense Survey Meters.
More detailed information why this is so important can be explored here at the FEMA Civil Defense Rad Meters, Geiger Counters and Dosimeters FAQ.
* Successfully calibrated instruments are returned to you with a label affixed to them certifying their calibration and stating who calibrated it and when, along with the serial number and model designation.
* Additionally, a Certificate of Calibration with the actual before and after accuracy responses for each of the different radiation ranges available on the instrument is included.
KI4U, Inc. is licensed and authorized by the State of Texas (Bureau of Radiation Control License No. L05515) to perform these calibrations at our lab here in Gonzales, Texas conforming to the standards as set forth by the State of Texas, FEMA, ASTM and the NRC.
We are the only non-government lab that specializes in calibrating these high-range Civil Defense instruments and we utilize the original 'Dept. of the Army - Office of Civil Defense' CD V-794 calibrators. We have three of these N.I.S.T. Traceable Cs-137 (Cesium) calibrators that were specifically designed for properly calibrating these Civil Defense meters and dosimeters. (The low-range Geiger Counter based instruments, such as the CD V-700's, are tested, calibrated and certified here with yet another radiation source.)

Our full-time RSO (Radiation Safety Officier) and lab director here, has served as an RSO on three separate licenses. He began his career in the mid-sixties at Oak Ridge National Labs and subsequently served at both Los Alamos National Laboratory and PanTex Nuclear Weapons Plant facility, as well as numerous nuclear power plants. He was a consultant to the Safeguards Program focused on developing the anti-terrorism strategies for nuclear facilities in the US. He was also the Chairman of the Nuclear Technology Program at a southern university for seven years and is the author of five books on the subject. Also, while at the Texas Bureau of Radiation Control, he not only repaired, maintained and calibrated these same FEMA Civil Defense instruments, but was a certified instructor in the proper use of them in a nuclear emergency.
