Computed Radiography (CR) inspection services
Computed Radiography produces digital X-ray images without using film. The same X-ray producing devices are used as with typical X-ray testing (RT), but the image is captured on a flexible, reusable imaging plate coated with a phosphor material. The imaging plate is then scanned by a laser scanner producing a digital image that can be edited, uploaded and shared via a computer.
CR inspection systems are often used in the field for weld inspections and on-stream wall thickness profile inspections of insulated or uninsulated piping systems. It’s also an effective technique to inspect castings and aerospace composite materials in the lab.
In most cases, CR inspection technology can be easily retrofitted into film-based systems, eliminating the need for processing lab film, chemicals, equipment, and storage – along with the costs associated with those ancillary tasks.
