Global Proportional Counter Tube Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Proportional Counter Tube market size is predicted to grow from US$ million in 2025 to US$ million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of %from 2025 to 2031.

Proportional Counter Tube are BF3 proportional counters and boron-coated proportional counters. The BF3 proportional counter is an electrode formed by a metal round tube, and an insulated thin wire is suspended along the central axis of the round tube as the other electrode, and the tube is filled with BF3 gas. The alpha particles released by the interaction of neutrons and B cause a primary ionization of the gas. The polarization voltage added to the thin wire is quite high, about 3000 V, which can produce secondary ionization to increase the generated ion logarithm and improve sensitivity. In general, each neutron can produce three counts per square centimeter. The counter tube is the most sensitive among the commonly used pulse counter tubes. The height of the pulse produced by the neutron is about 100 times that of the pulse produced by the gamma ray, so the interference of the gamma background can be reduced by the pulse height screening. The maximum counting rate of the counter tube is 5×10n/s, but the gamma radiation intensity of its working environment is generally below 1 Sv/h. The BF3 proportional counter can increase sensitivity by increasing the concentration of B. Boron coated proportional counter refers to the solid boron coated on the counter tube wall, the shell is made of aluminum, the shell is filled with argon, and the center is equipped with a thin wire electrode. It is connected to a high voltage power supply to obtain the higher electric field intensity required for gas discharge. The counter has a long life and recovers well after irradiation with high neutron fluence rate. However, the boron-coated layer can absorb some α particles, affect the energy of α particles entering the filled gas, and cause some fluctuations in the output pulse height, so the effect of pulse height discrimination is relatively poor.

The market prospect for Proportional Counter Tubes is expected to remain stable. While newer radiation detection technologies have emerged, Proportional Counter Tubes continue to be widely used due to their reliability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. They are particularly valuable in applications such as nuclear power plants, where precise measurement and monitoring of radiation intensity and energy are crucial. Additionally, the healthcare industry relies on Proportional Counter Tubes for medical imaging and radiation therapy. While advancements in alternative technologies, such as solid-state detectors, may pose competition, the established use and demand for Proportional Counter Tubes ensure a steady market for these detectors in the foreseeable future.
