Gamma Radiography
Gamma radiography uses high-energy gamma rays from radioactive isotopes to check material thickness. It is independent of power supply and suitable for difficult installation sites.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves emitted by radioactive isotopes. These rays can penetrate materials without contact and measure their thickness.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Gamma radiography is particularly useful for checking weld quality in hard-to-reach or off-grid areas. Misinterpretation of results can lead to inaccurate measurements, posing risks in construction and mechanical engineering.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use gamma radiography equipment with the correct radiation source and calibration. Pay attention to safety measures when handling radioactive materials, such as protective clothing and distance from the source. The measurement should be performed in a safe environment to ensure minimal radiation exposure.
