NDT E5

ISO 11699-1: C4, Industrial X-ray Imaging Blue Base Clear Film

Industrial X-ray Film (NDT E5) coated with silver salts is recommended for critical imaging applications, since it can be used in multiple film techniques to provide an extended image quality coupled with high product stability for Non-destructive testing (NDT) radiographic inspection in all industry segments. The blue-tinted industrial X-ray imaging blue base clear film (NDT E5) with a brilliant surface provides increased contrast and maximum detail perceptibility, even the smallest details can be interpreted with ease. It is suitable for the inspection of low atomic number materials with low kilovoltage X-ray sources as well as inspection of higher atomic number materials with high kilovoltage X-ray or gamma ray sources. It’s also versatile that NDT E5 is generally used for detection of minute defects with direct X-rays or with lead foil screens to exhibit the high intrinsic defect recognition for medium speed due to their fine granularity.

Advantages

◙ Less density unevenness.
◙ Easy to use, greater ease, savings in time and costs.
◙ Combines both economy in use and ecological responsibility.
◙ Less “adhesion” from Lead Screens to Unprocessed Film Surface (Lead Oxide Transfer).
◙ Compatible with all NDT chemistries and current brand tank / automatic processing conditions.
◙ Produced at a single facility under tightly controlled conditions in an ultramodern coating room to guarantee consistent production quality.

Ideal For

Very low graininess film with very high contrast and medium speed. Excellent for visualization of discontinuities. This film is intended for use in multiple film radiography and in single film with lead screens, using either X-ray or gamma rays.
