The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information The temporal response was studied at approximately +/- 10 degrees C from room temperature, i.e., 10 degrees C and 30 degrees C. Temporal results show that all chambers reach quick equilibrium response within < 2 minutes of submersion in water. In these applications only the chamber is situated in the measurement area, and the electronics are remotely situated to protect them from radiation and connected by a cable. Measurements were taken in heating water bath having an automatic temperature control mechanism. Temporal results show that all chambers equilibrate quickly in water.

For industrial applications with remote electronics, the ion chamber is housed in a separate enclosure which provides mechanical protection and contains a desiccant to remove moisture which could affect the termination resistance. The response varied within +/-1.5% between 10 degrees C-50 degrees C temperature and is mainly dependent on volume changes rather than the humidity. Investigation of thermal and temporal responses of ionization chambers in radiation dosimetry. It is concluded that ion chamber correction factors can be divided into first order; temperature and pressure connection, second order; volume correction for thermal expansion, and third order; humidity correction.
