When purchasing an X-ray flaw detector, you need to consider a number of key performance indicators and technical requirements to ensure that the purchased equipment can meet the actual inspection needs and meet the economic benefits. Here are some important considerations:
Penetration: Tube voltage (kV): The tube voltage determines the penetration of X-rays, the higher the tube voltage, the stronger the ability to penetrate thicker materials.
Tube current (mA): The tube current affects the intensity and dose rate of X-rays, which plays an important role in rapid detection and improving image contrast.
Focus size: Microfocal or large focus: Microfocal X-ray flaw detectors are suitable for delicate parts that require high-resolution inspection, while large focal points are more suitable for the inspection of large or rough surface structures.
Adaptability: Workpiece type and size: The flaw detector should be able to adapt to different types and sizes of workpieces, including but not limited to pipes, castings, weldments, electronic components, etc.
Mobility: Choose a fixed, mobile or portable flaw detector depending on the workplace conditions and workpiece mobility.
New energy electronically controlled X-ray flaw detection.
Detection method: circumferential**, directional**or other special **mode, choose the appropriate mode for different workpiece structures.
Imaging Systems: Imaging Technologies: Traditional Film Imaging, Digital Flat Panel Detector Imaging, or Real-Time Imaging Systems.
Image quality and resolution: Make sure the image is clear enough to identify tiny defects.
Safety features: Radiation protection design: Ensure that the equipment has good shielding measures and safety interlocks to meet radiation safety standards.
Operator Safety Training: Find out if the equipment vendor provides the necessary operational training and support.
All-in-one self-shielding X-ray flaw detector software features: Data processing and analysis software: Powerful image post-processing, defect analysis and report generation functions. Degree of automation: automatic positioning, automatic control, automatic detection algorithms, etc. help to improve detection efficiency and accuracy. After-sales service and technical support: Maintenance: Confirm that the equipment is easy to maintain, and the company can provide timely technical support and repair services. Upgrade and expansion: Consider the future upgrade possibilities and expansion compatibility of the device. Cost and return on investment: equipment acquisition costs, operating costs (e.g. consumables, electricity consumption), maintenance costs, and expected investment periods. Considering all of the above, you can find the X-ray flaw detector that best matches your specific application and budget.
