Type: Increasing demand for screen industrial X-ray films for non-destructive testing in various end-use industries

Non-screen industrial X-ray film is a type designed for direct exposure without the use of intensifying screens and is highly sensitive and produces very high-resolution images, making it ideal for detecting fine details in the inspection of welds, castings, and composite materials. Non-screen industrial X-ray film is specifically used in applications where utmost precision is necessary. Screen industrial X-ray film requires fluorescent screens to capture the image. These screens emit light when exposed to X-rays, reducing the amount of radiation needed. Screen industrial X-ray film is commonly used for broader inspection tasks where extremely high detail is less critical.

Application: Extensive use in the aerospace & defense sector to inspect and ensure the integrity and safety of components

In the aerospace and defense sectors, industrial X-ray films are used to inspect components such as turbine blades, fuselages, and rocket engines for internal defects such as cracks or voids, ensuring the reliability and safety of aerospace components, critical for mission success and personnel safety. In the automotive industry, industrial X-ray films facilitate examining parts such as castings, engine components, and electrical assemblies to detect internal imperfections or assembly issues. This helps maintain high-quality standards and reliability in vehicles, reducing the risk of failures on the road. In infrastructure projects, industrial X-ray films are used to inspect welds on pipelines, bridges, and buildings for ensuring structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. Early detection of flaws can prevent catastrophic failures, safeguard public safety, and reduce maintenance costs. In the oil & gas industry, X-ray films play a vital role in the non-destructive testing of pipelines, pressure vessels, and drilling equipment. Industrial X-ray films help identify corrosion, cracks, and weld defects, preventing leaks and ensuring facilities' continuous, safe operation. Within power generation, including nuclear, coal, and renewable energy sectors, industrial X-ray films are used to inspect turbines, boilers, and pipes for signs of wear and tear or manufacturing defects, ensuring efficient and safe power generation while helping extend the life of expensive equipment.
