Have you tested your material for possible internal defects? Is safety during the use of specific materials extremely important to you? Our specialists carry out the necessary tests using X-ray or gammagraphic radiations.
X-ray radiation is produced in an X-ray tube. An X-ray tube is an electric device that generates X-rays by means of high voltage.
Gamma rays are produced by radioactive elements (isotopes). The most commonly used isotopes are cobalt-60, iridium-192 and selenium-75. The isotopes are stored in a container that provides protection against the radiation. A radioactive source can be removed from the container by remote control for the purpose of conducting radiographic tests on a workpiece.
Defects in an irradiated workpiece are recorded on film.
Extensive experience is required, particularly for the interpretation of the images.
A layman would find it difficult to interpret the X-ray films obtained. For this reason, this should be done by experienced operators. Additional precautions and personal qualifications are required for the transportation and use of radioactive material. One also has to maintain a safe distance when the film is being exposed.
