Computerised radiographic technique using phosphor plates to obtain radiographic image
The radiographic image is captured in a radiation sensitive photostimulable phosphor layer.
The phosphor plates are extremely sensitive to radiation, this reduces exposure time when compared to conventional radiography.
Computerised radiography is a two-step process. The image information is, captured on the phosphor plates and converted into light in the CR scanner by laser stimulation.
The data is then transformed into a digital image and analysed using compatible software.
Image can be viewed in direct sunlight.(No need for darkened viewing conditions).
Scope
Condition monitoring of small bore piping with various ranges of thickness on in-service and out of service pipelines.
Equipment
Phosphor coated semi-flexible imaging plates IPC & IPS up to 250mm x 430mm in size.
CRx25P Scanner.
Gamma Ray/ X-ray projector
A Note Book computer with latest Data acquisition and analysing software.
Benefits
Reduced exposure time for increased personal safety.
Reduced safety barricade time on units for inspection, increased process safety.
Reduced setup time for maximized productivity.
Easier and faster analysis of radiographs, allows engineers to assess and take corrective action.
The computerised Digital image can be transmitted to remote location for analysis by specialist if required.
Insulation and media tolerable. (Shadow shot capability for CUI requirements).
Field proven durability and reliability.
The phosphor screens are reusable
Environment friendly as no processing chemicals involved. In obtaining radiographic image.
Digital images are easily archived for future reference and analysis.(corrosion trending).
Digital / Direct Radiography System
Introduction
Digital radiography using DXR panels that can be wired or wireless (Wi-Fi) to capture and
transmit the data to a laptop on site for Instant image review.
DXR is a single step process. The data is processed and analysed in real time on site.
The DXR panel is extremely sensitive to radiation. This will cause a reduction in exposure time
for increased personnel safety on site.
It is a “Filmless” technique with sensitivity comparable to medium-coarse Industrial radiographic
grain film.
Scope
Condition monitoring of small bore piping with various range of thickness on in-service and out of servicepipelines.
Equipment
2 lightweight DXR panels are available: 200mm x 200mm & 405mm x 405mm.
Gamma ray / X-ray projector
A Note Book computer with latest Data acquisition and analysing software with WIFI
capabilities.
Benefits
Instant image review permits radiographer to assess if any additional exposures are required
at different orientations to obtain optimum inspection.
Instant results reduces down time and permits engineers on site to take corrective action.
Reduced exposure time for increased personal safety.
Reduced safety barricade time on units during inspection for optimized process safety.
Rope access feasibility. (Wi-Fi capability, no wires going up with rope access technician).
Instant image review eliminates the need for any reshoots due to original set up issues.
Insulation and media tolerable. (Suitable for shadow shots for CUI).
On site proven durability and reliability.
Environment friendly as no processing chemicals involved in obtaining radiographic image.
Digital images are easily archived for future reference and analysis.
