  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION OpenVision™ DX is an easy to use, digital X-ray system with live video output for real-time radiographic inspection and reporting. A patent-pending combination of a c-arm mounted 70 kV X-ray source and a digital imager allows you to observe external defects as small as 0.010-inch (250 μm) on insulated piping.

    Trigger Assemblies The OVDX-NDT-70 comes standard with two trigger assembles:  415540-A (Figure 8) can be used for X-ray firing only.  415530-B (Figure 9) can be used for X-ray firing and Image / Video capture. Refer to Figure 10 for the connection location.

  • Page 14: Principles Of Operation

    PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Radiography uses X-rays or gamma rays passing through a specimen onto an imaging medium (film, digital imager, imaging plate, etc.) on the opposite side. The quality and quantity of radiation reaching the imaging medium is largely determined by the object’s thickness and density.

  • Page 15: Radiation Zones

    Output Radiation Levels OpenVision™ DX radiation levels vary depending on kV/mA settings. QSA Global, Inc performs testing at maximum power at the highest kV setting (70 kV, 0.17 mA) to verify collimation and image quality. Operators must be aware of safe boundary distances while using the OpenVision DX.

  • Page 17: Backscatter

    Backscatter Backscatter occurs when X-rays interact with material (piping, insulation, etc.), potentially travelling in undesirable directions (e.g. towards the operator). Backscatter is dependent on many variables including geometry, material, and energy level. It can potentially increase the dose to the operator’s extremities. The best way to minimize backscatter is to use the lowest kV / mA combination to achieve acceptable images.
