Radiography - Magna Chek

RADIOGRAPHY
The process of transmitting X-Rays or Gamma Rays through a material to a film on the opposite side of the piece being tested, thereby detecting the discontinuities on the inside of the part. Used on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

MOBILE UNITS
The mobile units may be equipped with 200 or 300 kilovolt X-Ray machines, or an IR-192 isotope depending on your requirements.

200 AND 300 KILOVOLT UNITS
These X-Ray units have a maximum thickness penetration of 2.5 inches of steel with even greater thickness penetration when inspecting aluminum, plastics, ceramics, and certain other materials, depending on density.

APPLICATIONS
Aircraft structures and components, welded assemblies, pressure vessels and piping, electronic circuitry, bridge girders, and similar materials. Our representatives would be happy to show you the many applications of Radiography.

GAMMA RAY
The gamma ray units (utilizing Iridium - IR192) increases penetration capabilities to 3.5 inches of steel, while increasing portability and accessibility. Furthermore, the natural radioactivity of the isotope makes electricity unnecessary for the process, enabling us to radiograph remote items.

APPLICATIONS
Pipelines, bridge and building fabrications, pressure vessels, large forgings and castings, and armored vehicle components.

On site development, interpretation and reporting of our processes are standard with MAGNA-CHEK

IN FIELD X-RAY PROJECTS
There are many activities in our Radiograph Department. Such as some of the activities involved when inspecting aircraft for possible in-flight fatigue, a requisite task for owners of these planes. Those below are basic examples of collar inspections on rotating shafts for water purification systems; before this mixing shaft is installed, the entire length will be checked for anomalies. Because these X-Rays were processed immediately, both the owners of the planes, and the millwrights were able to continue with their plans unhindered.

12 X 12 FOOT EXPOSURE ROOM WITH SLIDING LEAD DOORWALL
Our Radiography Department also features this large exposure room with a sliding doorwall to simplify inspection of large pieces. Testing in this room utilizes a 300KV X-Ray unit for maximum penetration of materials, and greater versatility.
Not shown are our Pako XM Automatic Processor and our high volume production cabinet for radiographic analysis of large lot sizes of castings, forgings, solid state components, weldments, and other materials.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE EXPOSURE ROOM
Steering components, large and small castings, forgings, weldments, transistor and solid state components, plastics, airbag inflaters, inspection for the presence and/or proper assembly of components, armored vehicles, turrets, gun mounts, suspension components, and aircraft assemblies and parts.
