X-ray films

A Real Time X-Ray Inspection System is introduced to replace Film X-Ray. The main objective is to reduce the consumption of film and to reduce the environmental pollution due to lead intensifying screens and chemicals. Other benefits are the reduction of space to storage X-ray data and the shorter inspection time, which gives a faster feed back to production. 

The lead time for making a image by film X-Ray is 10 to 15 minutes. Where about 2 minute are needed in inspection by Real-Time X-Ray. Another advantage of Real-Time X-Ray is the feature that the effect of manipulating the part or changing the setting of the X-Ray tube can be observed directly. This is often used in investigating quality problems. 

The light viewer as used in film X-Ray inspection is replaced by a PC monitor. This means that more persons can observe the image at the same time, which makes diseussions on details... 

In Real Time X-Ray inspection a positive image is used. It takes an operator who is used to the negative image of film X-Ray less than one hour to get used to a positive image. 

By introduction of Real-Time X-Ray the consumable costs and the waste disposal problems are reduced. The capacity of the system allowed an increase of production volume without the need for a investment for an additional film X-Ray unit which would have been needed otherwise.

Probably the most important of these is the diffraction of waves from the film. X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction and electron diffraction have all been employed and examples of their use will be discussed below. For films less than a few micrometres thick, X-rays and neutrons can only be used in the low angle mode as the diffracting power of such films is not sufficient to obtain useful results if the incident beam is directed normally at the film. Electron diffraction can be used with relatively thin films but the destructive effect of the high energy beam often damages the film before an image can be recorded. 

A picture can be obtained on film or sensitive plaque with the help of radioactive emissions. This is known in medicine as roentgen film. In a roentgen film X-rays are used which are produced by electronic devices. 

The Polaroid Land rapid-process system of photography has been adapted to some kinds of diffraction equipment. The Polaroid film is backed by an intensifying screen (Sec. 5-2) which converts x-rays to visible light that can darken the film. X-ray exposures are about one tenth of those required by x-ray film, and finished prints are available about ten seconds after the x-ray exposure.

An important barium compound is barium sulfate (BaS04). Barium atoms are highly X-ray and gamma-ray absorbent, a quality that is in demand in the medical industry, where it is especially useful as a diagnostic tool for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract—the stomach and the upper and lower intestines. Tissues in the stomach and intestines will not normally show up on X-ray film. X-rays taken after a patient swallows barium sulfate powder mixed with water will show the track... 

Yes, films can be cast which are clear and pliable, and can be stretched to high degrees. Upon stretching, films undergo crystallization which can be detected by x-rays, and in this way they behave like films prepared from other large linear molecules and resemble cellulose films. X-ray analyses of stretched guar films have been made by Palmer and Ballantyne. 

To study the size of the grains of the films, X-ray diffraction spectra are used. A great increase in their size is noticed when the depositing temperature increases (see Figure 7.23 and Table 7.3). 

A Rigaku Dcnki Co. Ltd., RAD-B system diffractometer with a Ni monochromater was used to investigate the redution products on the surfaces of the chelates films. X-ray source was CuKa (40kV / ISmA). 

After fabrication, ail the panels were interrogated by pulse echo ultrasound (10 MHz) and film X-ray. There was no indication of any delamination and no gross porosity regions were noted in the panels. In addition, each panel had two tensile bars extract for witness testing at room temperature. All samples tested failed above a 0.3% strain to failure requirement. Hence, all panels were accepted into the testing effort. Samples were cut out of the accepted plates and holes where drilled in diameters of 2.286 and 4.572 mm at the center of the lecimens forming 20% of the width of the specimen.
