Durridge Company offers RAD7 and H 2 O accessory to measure the radon concentration in water based on bubbling method. There are two types of small sample bottles: 40 mL and 250 mL. The company also provided a big bottle with the volume of 2500 mL to measure the radon concentration in water. For the 40 mL and 250 mL sample bottles, the conversion coefficients are 25 and 4, respectively. The small drying tube of water accessory contains only 30 g desiccant, which makes it inconvenient to measure for a long time and needs to be replaced frequently. Besides, the 2500 mL sample bottle with big drying tube needs longer response time. In this paper, a big drying tube with long lifetime is utilized to measure the radon concentration in water. Generally, the response time and the sensitivity depend on the volume of the sample bottles and the gas circuit, so it is important to obtain the conversion coefficients under different conditions to meet different measurement demands. A novel model is proposed for describing the radon concentration in the gas circuit to obtain the conversion coefficients for any volume of sample bottle and drying tube. By choosing the appropriate time of bubbling and measuring, this model can be utilized to obtain the radon concentration in water. • A novel model for describing the radon concentration in the air circuit is proposed. • The conversion coefficients in any volume of the measuring devices can be obtained. • A big drying tube with long lifetime is used to measure the radon-in-water. • Selecting suitable bubbling and measuring time, the radon-in-water can be obtained.
