Question 1

What is the primary advantage of using Vidisco's NDT X-ray solutions in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT)?

Accepted Answer

The primary advantage of Vidisco's NDT X-ray solutions is their ability to offer highly detailed, precise, and accurate imaging for the detection of defects, irregularities, or changes in materials, ensuring the integrity of the structure or system without causing any damage or destruction to the test object.

Question 2

How does Vidisco's digital X-ray technology differ from traditional radiographic methods in terms of image acquisition and analysis?

Accepted Answer

Vidisco’s digital X-ray technology, as embedded in their software like XbitPro & VEO PRO, can automatically capture multiple images and consolidate all the essential data for in-depth analysis. This technology not only speeds up the process but also provides clearer, more detailed images with higher resolution compared to traditional radiographic methods, enabling more precise evaluations.

Question 3

In the context of pipe inspections, how does Vidisco's X-ray solution address the challenges of wall thickness measurement?

Accepted Answer

Vidisco's X-ray solution introduces advanced tools that tackle issues like material penetration discrepancies, blooming effects, and magnification-induced distortions. The software comes equipped with algorithms that can systematically determine the exact locations of inner and outer walls, allowing for accurate measurements despite challenges.

Question 4

What measures does Vidisco's X-ray technology incorporate to prevent over-saturation or the blooming effect during imaging?

Accepted Answer

Due to the wide dynamic range of digital radiography and the unique capabilities of Vidisco’s detectors, the technology often finds the required energy level that allows for inner wall penetration without saturating the surrounding area of the outer wall. Vidisco also developed the "Wall Thickness Macro", an algorithm and procedure that facilitates the automatic acquisition of multiple images, ensuring that the exact location of the outer wall is identifiable without saturation issues.

Question 5

How does Vidisco ensure safety during X-ray inspections, given the inherent risks associated with radiation exposure?

Accepted Answer

Vidisco's NDT X-ray solution is designed to reduce the frequency of using high-radiation sources like isotopes. This not only leads to time and cost savings but also elevates safety by diminishing the need for special protective measures. The technology aims to protect both operators and adjacent staff from unnecessary exposure to high radiation levels during inspections.
