Astranis uses a combination of the HD-CR-35 NDT computed radiography scanner with high-resolution imaging plates and an X-ray generator to inspect orbital welds made in manifolds. They have three operators who are trained to use the scanner and produce around 30 X-ray images per week.
As part of its important conservation and research effort, The Mariners’ Museum recently acquired the HD-CR 35 Computed Radiography system and D-Tect X software to replace much of their existing X-ray capability, improving efficiency and flexibility.
ATTAR has been using DÜRR NDT computed radiography scanners since 2015 and more recently the DRC 2430 NDT high-resolution flat panel detector since 2019. The systems are used primarily for digital radiography training targeting the industrial and engineering sectors.
For an optimal digital workflow in radiographic testing (RT), the X-ray inspection software D-Tect X can be integrated with the NDT management software DRIVE NDT. The closely meshed interaction between DRIVE NDT and D-Tect X means that a large part of the process takes place automatically.
NDE Solutions in South Australia has been using the DRA 3543 digital flat panel since 2021 in combination with Iridium-192 radiation sources to perform Corrosion-Under-Insulation (CUI) radiography for confirming pipe wall loss in oil and gas plants and refineries. Used in 8-hour continuous shifts, it is typically used to take more than 60 X-ray images per month.
Scandiflash is a global leader in low and medium voltage flash X-ray systems with hundreds of systems installed in more than 30 countries, used in a variety of research and development environments. DÜRR NDT is proud to partner with Scandiflash and appreciates having an experienced distributor for Computed Radiography scanners in the flash X-ray area.
