Abstract
A simple and quick procedure was proposed for measurements of large co axial Ge detectors effective volumes. It included a comparison of back ground spectra collected with several detectors without any shielding in an underground laboratory. Such measurements were performed in Home stake (USA) and Canfranc (Spain) laboratories with several 1 kg and 2 kg detectors. Monte-Carlo calculations confirmed that ratios of number s of events in continua of the spectra should be either equal or very close to the ratios of the detectors effective volumes.
