Radiographic Film Viewer

A device for manual analysis of radiographs with adjustable brightness under glare-free conditions. Modern methods use screen inspection.

Physikalisch-chemischer Wirkmechanismus

The radiographic viewer uses a bright light source to illuminate radiographs and make their structure visible. Brightness can be adjusted to optimize contrast.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

The radiographic viewer is used for manual evaluation of weld quality and integrity. Insufficient brightness or glare-free conditions can lead to wrong assessments, which brings risks to safety and trust in the workshop.

Werkstattpraxis & Handlungsanweisungen

Use the radiographic viewer with a brightness of at least 100 lux and ensure that all glare-free standard requirements are met. For modern screen inspections, ensure sufficient resolution and high-contrast display of the films.
