2024-07-11 04:31:06 Geiger tubes are designed to have a lifetime of 10⁹ pulses. In practice, if you only measure background radiation in your living environment, you do not need to worry about running out of life; if you have been exposed to strong radioactivity, you should replace the Geiger tube as soon as possible, regardless of whether it has run out of the theoretical life. Strong radiation can affect the composition of the gas filled in the Geiger tube, resulting in irreversible changes in sensitivity. Tonny12138
