Abstract
When Geiger or proportional counters are used for the assay of tritiated water, the sample is usually converted into hydrogen or methane which is included in the counter filling. Measurement of the sample itself as water vapor would appear to be a more direct method which avoids possible uncertainties in the chemical conversion, and this technique has been used recently [1,2]. It will be shown, however, that although counters containing water vapor may have satisfactory characteristics, adsorption effects can introduce large errors.
