In this paper, the comparison of absorbed dose measurement performed with an extrapolation chamber and a Farmer chamber in high energy electron beam is described. The experiments performed in the course of this work show that the Xinjiang extrapolation chamber is suitable for calibration of high energy electron beams produced from medical linear accelerators.
