Compensators produced with computer controlled milling devices usually consist of a styrofoam mould, filled with an appropriate material. We investigated granulate of stainless steel as filling material. This cheap, easy to use, clean and re-usable material can be obtained with an average granule diameter of 0.3 mm, enabling an accurate and reproducible filling. No wax or other sealing material is added. The density of the granulate is approximately 4.5 g/cm3, which allows an accurate production of compensators in a sufficiently wide transmission range without the compensators becoming too thick. Transmission and surface dose measurements show that the dosimetric properties of stainless steel granulate are suitable for use as compensator material.
