State-of-the-art digital radiography services
|
|
No film developing required |

ACFM inspection for crack detection and corrosion |
|
No chemicals to buy, process, or dispose |
|
Reusable plates can be scanned in less than a minute |
| |
– Lowers your cost per exposure |
| |
– Provides a wider exposure tolerance |
| |
– Thicker/thinner sections can be displayed on the same exposed image |
| |
-
Over or under film exposures are eliminated
- Low curie sources are used
- Very
small exclusion zones are needed
- Exposure times are shorter
- Productivity in
increased (less interference with onsite workers)
|
|
Selenium 75 is utilized |
| |
– Provides a much safer working environment |
| |
– Provides greater sensitivity |
|
Digital images can be enhanced to provide clarity |
| |
– Tags can be placed on the image labeling/describing indications |
|
Precise measurements of cross sections and between two points can
be captured and displayed on the image |
|
Digital images are stored on computer disk media and can be emailed |
| |
– Data and images are electronically archived |
| |
– Retrieval costs of film are eliminated |
| |
– Only the original scanned image can be saved without
modifications, thus maintaining integrity |
|
