Shielding vs General-Purpose Lead Sheet
Radiation shielding applications require a specific thickness calculated against the radiation source and required attenuation — this is a calculation your radiation safety officer or supplier of shielding equipment should confirm, not something to assume from a general product description.
Radiation Shielding Lead Sheet
Used in X-ray rooms, medical imaging and industrial radiography shielding. The required thickness is determined by a radiation attenuation calculation specific to your source and regulatory requirement — confirm this with your radiation safety officer before ordering, since we supply to the thickness you specify, not against a general 'shielding grade.'
Roofing and Weighting Lead Sheet
Used for roofing flashing, weighting and general non-shielding applications where a specific radiation attenuation calculation isn't required.
Construction Types Available
Cut Sheet
Supplied in standard panel sizes or cut to dimension.
Rolls
Supplied on rolls for roofing and flashing applications.
Where Lead Sheet Is Used
Packaging
Lead sheet is supplied in cut panels or on rolls, in the thickness specified. For radiation shielding use, confirm the required thickness against your own attenuation calculation and applicable regulatory standard before ordering — this determination is specific to your radiation source and cannot be assumed from a general product listing.
Common Questions
What thickness of lead sheet do I need for X-ray shielding?
This depends on a radiation attenuation calculation specific to your X-ray source, room geometry and applicable regulatory standard. Confirm the required thickness with your radiation safety officer or shielding consultant before ordering — we supply to the thickness you specify.
