CRT Computed Radiographic testing - NATA Accredited

Faster radiography with digital portability (On‐site results)

LMATS offers NATA accredited computed radiography (CRT) on welds and corrosion under insulation (CUI) profile radiography. 

Computed radiogaphy is almost similar to conventional radiogaphy except a phospher coated flexible plate is use instrad of conventional silver halide coated polymer film. The phosher coated flexible plate captures latent image of the component exposed to radiation and is transformed into a digital radiographic image. Unlike conventional silver halide film, there is no need for a dark room, chemicals and wet processing.  LMATS  CRT Computed Radiographic testing is performed using X-ray or gamma ray radiation.

Advantages:

  • Faster as compared to conventional film based radiography
  • Lesser radiation exposure time - Hence less production disruption for the client
  • No additional cost to the client
  • Digital radiograph that can be viewed by the client anywhere in the world
  • Onsite Results - Image processing while radiography (almost real time imaging)
  • Digital image processing can aid in detecting very fine, small discontinuities
  • No need of image illuminator for the client
  • No need of onsite dark room
  • Environment friendly - No need of chemicals for processing image
  • No need of Silver based polymer films
  • Numerical wall thickness or pitting depth measurement capability
  • Longer retention period for digital radiograph as compared to conventional films
  • Traceability, Repeatability, Reproducibility

Applications:

  • Examination of new or in-service welds - Ferrous, non-ferrous, plastics, polymers, fibre glass, rubber, ceramics, etc
  • Examination of new or inservice castings, forgings, wrought products,
  • Wall thickness measurement of in-servie, insulated pipes and components
  • Detection of internal imperfections in process piping, plant, etc
  • Examine internal circuits of automotive or electronic components
  • Condition monitoring of pitting or crack
  • Corrosion assessment and monitoring

Typical Industries:

  • Oil & Gas
  • Power generation
  • Fabrication & manufacturing
  • Chemical plant
  • Petro Chemical
  • Automotive industry
  • Food and beverage
  • Transport
  • Aerospace
  • Marine

The original archived image cannot be altered (Read Only), thus maintaining the integrity of the raw data. Without altering the archived image, the electronic image-viewing software can be sharpened, filtered and zoomed for analysis by the technician or customer to enhance evaluation.
