LTI Offers New Digital Radiography Capabilities
Posted: 2013-6-9
Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI), a full-service materials testing, nondestructive
testing and metrology lab, announced the expansion of services available for X-
ray inspection, also called radiography or radiographic testing. The laboratory's
Nondestructive Testing Department now performs computed radiography with a
Carestream Industrex HPX-1 Digital System, in addition to conventional film
radiography. While the X-ray process is the same for both methods, the
computed or digital process differs from conventional X-ray film by producing a
digital image that can be saved to a disc, emailed to customers and easily
archived. Digital radiography may be conducted on various solid products,
ranging from plastic injection moldings, circuit boards, batteries and evidence
for litigation, to steel or aluminum castings and welds. Laboratory Testing Inc. is
offering this digital method to customers as an alternative to film based X-ray
inspection at no additional charge. LTI will work with customers to prepare
custom procedures that ensure conformance to required specifications.
Radiographic testing can provide valuable information for determining the
soundness of a material or product, identifying the extent of corrosion,
uncovering the source in fire investigations and more. The need for radiographic
testing services can occur during product research & development, as part of the
manufacturing, fabrication or installation processes or when a product is in
service. Digital radiography, which is a variation of hi-tech digital photography
with no films, chemicals or processing required, is used across a wide-range of
industries and for this broad range of testing needs.
Computed radiography provides the digital equivalent of the conventional X-ray
film, with added advantages to better meet the needs of customers:
Image enhancement and optimization capabilities for improved analysis
Quick and easy sharing of images
Convenient storage of test results
In addition, customers will be able to view the images at LTI on three mega-pixel
medical grade monitors, or receive a copy of the viewing software to install on
their own computers, at no charge. The images may be rotated for orientation,
lightened or darkened to view different thicknesses in a test sample and can be
zoomed with sharp detail.
Laboratory Testing Inc. provides digital and film radiography through its
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) Department, which also performs ultrasonic
testing, hydrostatic pressure testing, magnetic particle inspection, liquid
penetrant testing and visual inspection. These nondestructive testing services are
PRI/Nadcap accredited and are performed according to strict quality procedures
to ensure reliable results. LTI’s nondestructive testing technicians are certified to
ASNT SNT-TC-1A, NAS410/MIL-STD-410, MIL-STD-2132 and Pratt & Whitney
PWA-NDTQ. Certified NDT Level II and Level III technicians evaluate all test
results.
