If the lead glass is to be used for the shielding of radionuclides instead of
‘x’ radiation, the following Lead protection should be used.
| 5.0mm | 7.0mm | 8.5mm | 10.0mm | 11.5mm | 16mm | 20mm | |
| Isotope | Glass thickness above will give the following Lead protection: | ||||||
| C-11 N-13 O-15 F-18 | 1.8 | 2.6 | 3.1 | 3.7 | 4.2 | 5.9 | 7.4 |
| Co-58 | 2 | 2.8 | 3.4 | 4 | 4.6 | 6.4 | 7.9 |
| Co-60 | 2.2 | 3.1 | 3.7 | 4.4 | 5.1 | 7.1 | 8.9 |
| Fe-59 | 2.2 | 3.1 | 3.7 | 4.4 | 5.1 | 7 | 8.8 |
| Tc-99m | 1.4 | 2 | 2.4 | 2.9 | 3.3 | 4.6 | 5.7 |
Other radionuclides values are available on request.
Observation window with 4 layers of glass providing 20mm lead equivalent.
