APPLICATION IN NDT OF COMPUTER DIGITAL X-RAY REAL TIME IMAGE SYSTEM
Abstract:Nondestructive testing (NDT) is one of the most commonly used scientific means to detect the internal defects without damaging the tested objects, therefore it is found widely applications in the industries of mechanical, petrochemical, aerospace etc. Radiographic Testing (RT) by X-ray is commonly used NDT method at present, its disadvantages are unavoidable for its long test period, high cost and environment pollution. With the development of computer technology, an emerging NDT method with digital X-ray real time image (DXRTI) is found increased application in industry. This paper presents the fundamentals and applications of computer numerical image technique (CNIT) in NDT with DXRTI technique, and introduced the new developed DXRTI software ‘XCX2000’ and its applications and economic benefit in weld defects detecting for LPG Cylinders.
