Asian Games Main Torch Zero Carbon Methanol Pipeline Safety Project

The RD-T200 series is made of all-aluminum and has a unique heat dissipation system. The generator weighs 15kg and can penetrate up to 25mm of A3 steel. The equipment can replace the Se75 radioactive source, solving the inconvenience of cross-domain movement of the radioactive source and is suitable for filming in narrow spaces. This product is the zero-carbon methanol pipeline safety detection equipment for the main torch of the 19th Asian Games in 2023.

What is NDT X Ray Equipment?

NDT X-Ray Equipment: Overview and Applications

NDT X-ray equipment refers to specialized X-ray systems used in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to inspect the internal structure of materials, welds, and components without causing damage. These systems are widely used in industries like oil & gas, aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing to detect flaws such as cracks, voids, inclusions, and corrosion.

Types of NDT X-Ray Equipment

1. Portable Industrial X-Ray Machines

• Used for on-site inspections (e.g., pipelines, welds, aircraft).

• Compact, battery-powered, or lightweight for field use.

• Examples: YXLON FF20, COMET MXR-225

2. Digital Radiography (DR) Systems

• Replaces traditional film with digital detectors (flat-panel detectors).

• Provides real-time imaging and faster results.

• Used in aerospace, automotive, and electronics.

• Examples: VJ Technologies DR systems, DÜRR HD-CR

3. Computed Radiography (CR) Systems

• Uses phosphor imaging plates instead of film.

• Plates are scanned to produce digital images.

• More flexible than DR but slower than real-time systems.

• Examples: Fuji D-Tect, DÜRR NDT CR scanners

4. High-Energy X-Ray Systems (Linear Accelerators / Betatrons)

• Used for thick materials (e.g., steel, concrete, heavy castings).

• Generates higher-energy X-rays (up to 15 MeV).

• Common in nuclear, shipbuilding, and defense industries.

• Examples: Varian Linac systems, IAE Betatrons

5. Microfocus & Nanofocus X-Ray Systems

• Ultra-high resolution for small components (PCBs, electronics, medical devices).

• Used in CT scanning (3D X-ray imaging).

• Examples: Nikon XT H 225, Zeiss Xradia

Key Applications of NDT X-Ray Equipment

✔ Weld Inspection – Detecting cracks, porosity, and lack of fusion in pipelines and structures.
✔ Aerospace – Inspecting turbine blades, composite materials, and aircraft components.
✔ Automotive – Checking castings, engine parts, and battery welds in EVs.
✔ Oil & Gas – Corrosion mapping in pipelines and storage tanks.
✔ Electronics – PCB inspection, solder joint analysis.
✔ Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) – Verifying internal defects in printed metal parts.

Advantages of NDT X-Ray Testing

✅ Non-Destructive – No damage to the inspected part.
✅ High Accuracy – Detects internal flaws invisible to the naked eye.
✅ Digital Imaging – Instant results with DR, 3D CT scanning available.
✅ Regulatory Compliance – Meets ASME, ASTM, ISO, and API standards.

Safety Considerations

• Requires radiation shielding (lead enclosures or barriers).

• Operators must follow ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles.

• Personal dosimeters and remote-controlled systems reduce exposure risks.

Conclusion

NDT X-ray equipment is essential for ensuring structural integrity, quality control, and safety in critical industries. The choice between portable, DR, CR, or high-energy systems depends on material thickness, required resolution, and inspection environment.
