In this study, we propose a methodology for temperature determination of the temperature and pressure correction factor, PTP, by analyzing the temperature distribution of the modeled ionization chamber taking into account the thermal effect of a water phantom on neighboring materials in the process. Other examples are applications where the ions are created outside the chamber but are carried in by a forced flow of air or gas. A bias voltage applied across the cavity collects ions and produces a current which can be measured with an electrometer. Measurements with open air ionization chambers require temperature and pressure correction to account for the change in the mass of air in the chamber volume, which changes with the ambient temperature and pressure.
