Industrial Sealed Source FAQs

  • What type of gauges are your sealed radioactive sources compatible with?

    QSA Global's sealed sources are offered in a wide variety of sizes and activities, and there are options compatible with all gauge manufacturers. Some of the most common gauge manufacturers we work with are:

  • I'm looking for an Amersham or AEA Technology source. Can you help me?
    QSA Global, Inc. was formerly known as Amersham Corporation and AEA Technology, among others. We are the original equipment manufacturer of Am-241 / Be, Am-241, Cf-252, Cs-137, and Co-60 industrial sealed radioactive sources.
  • Can I look up my industrial sealed source by serial number, model number, capsule code, or product code?

    With over 60 years of historical disposal knowledge working with various manufacturers and gauge models worldwide, QSA Global can easily identify and verify your sealed sources.

    Specifically, we have a comprehensive database of source manufacture dates, SSDRs, source certificates, and serial numbers to identify what radioactive source is inside your gauges and provide the special form certifications required to transport your sources and gauges legally.

  • I am not sure what size source I need?

    QSA Global provides technical guidance on the capsule dimensions, interface, assembly, and specific handling features based on your preferences and needs.  We can help replace an old source or design a new source for your application.

  • Are your sources Special Form or Normal Form?

    QSA Global’s sources are Special Form and we offer exceptional regulatory support.

  • How can I find a replacement source?

    If you provide us with the serial number, U.S. model number, Special Form Certificate (SFC), or product code and we can match this to the replacement source you need.  

    Don't have that information handy? QSA Global has a comprehensive database of source manufacture dates, SSDRs, source certificates, and serial numbers to identify what radioactive source is inside your gauges and provide the special form certifications required to transport your sources and gauges legally.

  • Can you ship internationally?

    QSA Global can ship domestically and internationally. We have a global network of export specialists that provide transport expertise when you are facing challenging logistical issues.

    Our Type A containers are available for rent to help you send your devices to us quickly and easily. We can also arrange clearance at US destination ports to help prevent transport delays.

  • Can you help me recycle/dispose of old sealed sources?

    Yes, please visit our disposition services for more details on how we help dispose of your old or unwanted radioactive sources.
