X-ray Scanning Method for Detection of Gaps in Assembled Tank Ammunition.
Abstract
A problem involving the detection of gaps between mating metal parts in 90-millimeter tank ammunition projectiles has been solved using a novel radiographic technique that requires scanning the projectile and X-ray film during X-ray exposure. The difficulties precluding the use of conventional approaches, as well as details of the successful technique, are described in the report. This method was developed specifically for screening fully assembled cartridges in the stockpile and is capable of moderate production rates.
