ANALYSIS OF HIGH VOLTAGE FLUOROSCOPY IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Abstract
The factors involved in high voltage fluoroscopy were investigated with respect to industrial applications of steel and aluminum weld inspection. Various x-ray generators ranging from 50 KVP to 15 MEV were used in conjunction with electronic and electroluminescent methods of image intensification to provide the optimum in fluoroscopic viewing. Sensitivity limits are presented for fluoroscopic techniques of inspecting aluminum welds 3/32 inches to 3 inches thick and for steel welds 1/8 inches to 3 inches thick. Techniques are established which eet the inspection requirements with respect to cavities and linear porosity in both aluminum and steel weld sections. (Author)
