NONDESTRUCTIVE SYSTEM FOR INSPECTION OF FIBER GLASS REINFORCED PLASTIC MISSILE CASES
Abstract
The purpose of this program is to develop a television X-ray imaging system for the nondestructive inspection of fiber glass reinforced plastic missile case walls and materials. The development of X-ray-sensing television camera tubes, equipped with beryllium windows, is essential for fiber glass inspection. Previous efforts to develop such tubes indicated the existence of problems of target poisoning and target deterioration due to heat effects. During this research period, an X-ray-sensing, beryllium-window tube has been fabricated that appears to have overcome these problems. A study has been initiated to determine the optimum target material thickness for the inspection of fiber glass missile cases. (Author)
