Abstract Accurate radiation dosimetry is required for radiation protection in various environments. Therefore, dosemeters and dose-rate meters must be calibrated in standard radiation fields. The National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) expands the energy range of X-ray reference field measurement up to 450 kV using a cylindrical graphite-walled cavity ionization chamber. Departure from the condition of the Spencer-Attix cavity theory was evaluated by comparing the measurement results obtained using the cavity ionization and the free-air ionization chambers, which are used as the primary standard up to a tube voltage of 250 kV. The calibration coefficients found using the spherical ionization chamber were in good agreement with those obtained by the free-air ionization chamber within relative standard uncertainties (k = 1) for N-200 and N-250 X-ray fields. Consistent calibration coefficients were obtained in the energy range 300–450 kV.
