PART 1
Radiographic Inspection
Radiation is passing straight
through a material.
Radiation is absorbed by
material depending on:
• Material density
• Object thickness (shape)
• Radiation energy
Name Charge
Proton Positive
Neutron No
Electron Negative
Atomic number
(number of Protons)
Notes:
59
Co 27 Chemical symbol of Cobalt
Number of Protons = 27
Number of electrons = 27
Number of neutrons = 59 – 27 = 32
Isotopes
Isotopes – atoms of an element with:
• the same number of protons (atomic number )
- -
-
- -
X-Ray Production
~ 95% of energy turns into heat. Actual focal spot –
large size will carry heat out.
Current [mA]
Time [s]
Current [mA]
Tube current controls the intensity of radiation.(intensity).
Voltage up
electron speed up
kinetic energy up
penetrating power up
Gamma rays
Gamma rays
electromagnetic radiation
emitted during disintegration of atom nuclei
