    Betatron and X-ray Introscopes     
Function

The introscope corresponds hardware comples, meant for work as under field condition (for example, on oil and gas pipelines), as indoor condition for non-destructive testing of welding joints quality of pipelines, high-pressure vessels, different metal construction.

Operating principle

The introscope operating principle is based on usage of radiation of portable betatron, portable X-ray units or isotope sources for X-raying of test objects and radiation convertion to radiographs by means of scintillation screen, television equipment and digital electronic engineering.

Configuration:

  • remote converter (installed on inspection place with X-ray source);
  • electronic data processing unit (installed outside examination zone);
  • set of interface cables.


Introscope in field condition
Work environment and advantages

The introscope is operable under indoor condition on base of vehicle with covered body in temperature range (-20...+40)°С. The introscope allows product's quality control without use of X-ray film. The results of test are stored as digital radiographs.
