YXRAY GmbH offers modern radioscopic
and radiographic X-ray testing systems for
the inspection of pipe welds. The company
introduced what is believed to be the first
digital radioscopic pipe testing system
RTS 13.1 onto the German/European NDT
market in 2004.
The advantage of digital radioscopic
pipe testing over ordinary radiographic or
radioscopic testing systems derives from
high-speed quality testing. The technology
offers digital 12-bit/16-bit X-ray images
with high grey-level value, while the test
procedure does not require expensive
X-ray films and chemicals.
YXRAY GmbH supplies the worldwide NDT
market with portable and stationary X-ray
equipment, including handling, digital film
scanners and image processing systems.
The company also sells Kodak X-ray films,
film processing systems and radiographic
accessories.
