PX3 Portable X-ray System Upgrade to Meet NDT Needs

To accommodate varying sizes of workpieces and detection clarity requirements, the PX3 portable X-ray device has expanded its range of flat panel detectors. This upgrade includes flat panel detectors of different sizes and resolutions, ensuring optimal image quality in diverse inspection scenarios. 

· High-Resolution Detectors: With pixel sizes as small as 76 μm, these detectors are ideal for high-precision welding inspections, clearly revealing small cracks, pores, and other defects. 

· Multiple Size Options: Available in various sizes, such as 14x17 inches and 10x13 inches, these detectors can handle a wide range of inspection needs, from small parts to large structural components.

Addressing the practical needs of industrial inspections, the PX3 device is equipped with specially designed tripods and workpiece fixtures along with auxiliary fixation devices. These new designs significantly enhance the device's adaptability in complex environments. 

· Stability and Flexibility: The tripods and workpiece fixtures provide high stability and flexibility, allowing the X-ray device and the inspection object to be securely positioned under various conditions, ensuring a safe and accurate inspection process. 

· Quick Adjustments: These fixtures allow for quick adjustments of the device's position and angle, boosting inspection efficiency, especially in field operations.

3. Enhanced Image Processing and Measurement Functions

The PX3's image processing and measurement functions have undergone comprehensive upgrades to meet the high standards and stringent requirements of modern industrial NDT inspections. 

· Thickness Calibration and Measurement: New features enable precise calibration and measurement of the welding area's thickness, offering more accurate inspection data to identify issues such as incomplete or excessive welding. 

· Multi-Frame Averaging: This technique reduces image noise and enhances clarity, making defects easier to identify and analyze. · Automatic Spatial Resolution: The device automatically adjusts the image's spatial resolution to suit different materials and thicknesses, ensuring optimal image quality for each inspection.

 

Case: Enhancing Pipeline Safety in the Chemical Industry

Background: A chemical company faced challenges with pipeline inspection due to internal corrosion and blockages. Traditional inspection methods were time-consuming, costly, and potentially damaging to the pipes, resulting in increased maintenance expenses. 

Solution: PX3 portable X-ray machine provided an ideal solution to these challenges. With its high penetration power and high-resolution imaging technology, the device enabled non-destructive inspection of the pipeline's internal structure. It effectively identified corrosion, cracks, and blockages without causing any damage to the pipes. 

Implementation Results: 

· Increased Inspection Efficiency: The inspection time was reduced by 50% compared to traditional methods, significantly improving operational efficiency. 

· Enhanced Detection Accuracy: The device offers image resolutions of up to 1024×1024 pixels, ensuring even the smallest cracks and corrosion are clearly visible. This high level of detail minimizes the risk of misdiagnosis and missed issues. 

· Reduced Maintenance Costs:  By promptly identifying and addressing issues, the company reduced unexpected downtime and repair costs associated with pipeline failures.
