Can this detect X-Ray radiation?

You are looking at a low-frequency EMF meter. It measures EMF from mains electrical devices and other (very low frequency) EMF sources. You can use this type of meter to check EMFs from mains electricity, power lines, high voltage lines, electrical installations, sub-stations and transformers, house wiring, domestic electrical appliances TVs, computers, office equipment, factory machinery, vehicles (cars, trains etc). This meter is not designed to measure ionizing radiation (x-rays and gamma rays), or radio-frequency / microwave radiation, unless specifically stated.

No. The device doesn't detect Alpha radiation. Alpha has very short waves and can not penetrate skin or thin layer of air. However, if there is Alpha radiation there would be Beta or Gamma one as well. It's almost impossible in a real life to find Alpha radiation alone. intelGadgets.com

I strongly doubt it. Since it depends on suction, it needs a smooth, non-porous surface and the detector only works when it can "see" the incoming radar/laser signals.

I have no idea if it even works there's a test button on it that works but will it detect radiation i have no idea and i hope i will never have to find out !

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

I cannot imagine that it could. It only measures pressure within a stack pipe that exhausts radon gas.

The detector will show you the cumulative dose and you will be able to see how much radiation was absorbed during the specific time period. In order to measure the dose a radiation dosimeter has to be present. However, if an object absorbed a significant amount of radiation and became "radioactive", meaning the radiation is coming from the object, the SOEKS detector will be able to pick it up simply by getting the detector close enough to the object you'd like to measure. The other option is to measure a radiation background away and near the object, subtract two numbers - the difference is how much radiation the object emits.

No, It only used to measure electro magnetic radiation in radio frequency range such as radiation from microwave tower, Wi-Fi, Microwave oven, wireless communication etc.If you want to measure EMF for AC unit motors & other home motors, you need a meter which can measure EMF in power frequency such as Trifield 100XE meter. Thanks

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves. The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters. If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within the microwave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

Yes, it detects rebars, and I think nails. Please check the deep and the minimum wide range of the tool. Regards and good luck

I would not even consider trusting it for that purpose. I'm sure there are more job specific tools to measure the amount of radiation emitted by an x-ray machine. In a situation of an extreme emergency or disaster I might put it to the "Test". But otherwise I would not attempt it.

This does not distinguish parts of the solar spectrum (infrared, visible, uva, uvb, etc) so probably not. I use it to check the overall solar irradiation level as measured in Watts per Meter^2 (which is generally from 0 W/m2 to 1300 W/mw on ground level).

Radiation detectors only pickup decaying particles close by. You would need to be close to Fukushima area to detect anything serious. Unless you're going to Japan I would suggest something reliable and inexpensive like the www.amazon.com/International-Medcom-CRM-100-Digital-Radiation/dp/B006C4ZTEK .

RF Radiation from cell phones -- yes if the unit is in close proximity (a few inches). It will detect the magnetic fields and electrical fields from a laptop (again in close proximity). Wireless mice and keyboards -- probably not. This unit shines at detecting magnetic fields and electrical fields. It also is handy for detecting leaks from a microwave oven.

I believe this is mainly for cell towers, which is why I purchased it. One was installed next to our house in August. It does measure other radiation in the house i.e. from microwave oven, tv, etc. Not familiar with the Trifield item.

Unfortunately, the english language uses the word "Radiation" for two very different things. One use is for "Electromagnetic Radiation". Light. Microwaves. Radio. Certain parts of the microwave/radio spectrum are what this meter measures. The second use is for "Nuclear Radiation". That's what the asker of this question wants to test. That requires a Geiger Counter.

I'm not an expert, but I believe this could detect certain kinds of radiation in food, but not others. So there's no guarantee that the food is safe just because this didn't detect anything. I think food has to be sent to a lab for the more proper testing. Still, I went ahead and tested a lot of food and didn't find any problems.
