Portable X-ray detectors
08/10/2020
Waygate Technologies (formerly GE Inspection Technologies), a world leader in industrial inspection solutions, has launched two new portable X-ray detectors from its DXR digital X-ray family to ensure the safety, quality and productivity of its customers’ complex products and processes. The DXR140P-HC and DXR75P-HR direct radiography detectors combine the latest technological advances with extensive customer feedback and offer high-quality efficient imaging, as well as thorough protection for use in harsh environments. Both devices can now be ordered for product demonstrations.The DXR140P-HC detector comes with a large 14" × 17" high-contrast imager with 140 micron pixel resolution and can be deployed for corrosion monitoring in the energy, infrastructure and oil & gas industries. It can be used with X-ray as well as isotopes, while its increased dose sensitivity allows for shorter exposure times and faster throughput. The smaller DXR75P-HR features a
75 micron pixel resolution to distinguish fine details for critical applications. It supports ISO 17636-2 class B for weld inspection, offering precision imaging that meets the most stringent standards.
With a 7" × 9" detector, it is ideal for settings with limited detector positioning freedom, such as boilers, pressure tubes, vessels and storage tank environments. Both detectors can be operated either wired or wireless with a range of up to 100 m, depending on the situational requirements.
Each detector comes in a rugged casing with shielding layers that protect against drops and knocks. For an even longer lifetime and consistent performance, further shielding layers on the detectors themselves also improve protection against the harmful effects of radiation. Both detectors are waterproof and dustproof with IP65 and IP76 protection ratings. Their tailored flight case provides for safe and easy transportation.
Both DXR devices can be combined with the globally renowned digital tools of Waygate Technologies. The operator-independent NDT acquisition and analysis platform Rhythm Insight RT is a powerful and easy-to-use software offering an intuitive touch user interface for out-of-the-box scanning and image processing. The integrated intelligent processing technology Flash! automatically and consistently optimises digital radiography and ensures excellent image quality and comfortable reading. Its faster and smoother workflow enhances productivity and maximises resources.
The new DXR detectors are among the first products that the industrial inspection solutions company is launching under its new brand, Waygate Technologies. The company changed its name in February 2020 after former parent company GE reduced its majority share in Baker Hughes in 2019. Today, Waygate Technologies is part of Baker Hughes’ Digital Solutions segment and is fully focused on providing an outstanding industrial detection performance and driving innovation and digital transformation for its customers.
