GAMMAGRAPHIES

In contrast to X-rays, the gammagraps exploit the natural radioactive decay of isotopes (selenium, iridium, cobalt) for the emission of electromagnetic waves called gamma rays.

GAMMAGRAPHY

Isotopes are frequently used in the aeronautical sector for the volumetric survey of details of complex geometries, or in industrial plants and power plants. Being lighter and more versatile than cathode ray tubes, these devices allow operators to perform radiographic checks even in conditions of poor accessibility or in the absence of electricity.

CONTROLLABLE PRODUCTS

The controllable products can be: welded, rolled, forged, drawn, castings, castings, machined parts, works of art, reinforced concrete elements.

ADVANTAGES

In addition to those already mentioned, isotopes can in many cases replace modern constant-voltage tubes or linear accelerators for crossing large thicknesses. Furthermore, preparation times for radiographs are generally shorter.

DISADVANTAGES

Slightly lower radiographic quality compared to traditional radiographic inspection. High maintenance and transportation costs.
