A high-resolution image of legendary BAM-5 weld done by WidePIX 1×5 CdTe camera (1280 x 256 pixels, 55µm pixel pitch) compared to images of the same sample taken with other standard and mostly used alternative technologies. The camera was placed just behind the sample and ordinary X-ray tube (160 kVp, 0,4 mm focal spot) in a distance of 50 cm. The exposure time was 50 seconds. These hand-welded 8mm thick steel plates with all types of welding flaws became standard in the field of non-destructive testing of steel welds. The superior quality is obvious. Go on WidePIX models ›
