Accurate operating procedures are the key to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of X-ray flaw detectors. Following the above regulations not only ensures personnel safety, but also improves the efficiency of flaw detection, providing solid support for industrial testing.
Preparation before operation
Equipment inspection: Confirm that the X-ray machine is intact and that the cables and power cords are not damaged.
On site assessment: Inspect the site and eliminate safety hazards.
Security measures
Personnel evacuation: Before high voltage, all personnel should evacuate from non safe areas and set up clear signs.
Protective equipment: equipped with lead clothing, lead caps, radiation alarms, etc.
Alarm system: Turn on the X-ray alarm light and prohibit approaching the work area when flashing.
Device Connection
Grounding wire: Connect the grounding wire to the grounding terminal of the control box to ensure good grounding.
Alarm system: Connect X-ray alarm lights, flashing to indicate working status.
Equipment usage
Training machine: Perform aging training according to the instructions, and start radiography after completion.
Heat dissipation requirements: After the X-ray machine is exposed, it needs to dissipate heat sufficiently, keep the cooling fan rotating, and should not be turned off immediately.
Operation details
Intermittent work: The ratio of working time to rest time is 1:1.
Equipment combination: The generator and controller use the same numbered combination.
Cable operation: Before inserting and unplugging cables, cut off the power supply and pay attention to moisture and dust prevention of the socket.
Insulation requirements: The generator and steel must be insulated to avoid impact forces.
Cooling system: Confirm the operation of the cooling fan before occurrence.
Special environmental operations
Outdoor operation: Avoid direct sunlight, take protective measures to prevent unrelated personnel from entering the work area.
Long term unused equipment: Train the machine once a month to reach over 70%.
Voltage regulator equipment: When the voltage is unstable, use a voltage regulator.
In the future, X-ray inspection technology will continue to advance, and operating procedures will be more perfect, helping to improve industrial safety and efficiency, injecting new impetus into industrial development. Standardized operation, safety first. As a key industrial testing tool, the improvement of safety and efficiency of X-ray flaw detectors will promote the continuous development of industrial testing technology in China. The refinement and implementation of operating procedures will effectively enhance the safety and convenience of using flaw detectors, bringing broader application prospects to the industrial field. The precise operating procedures of X-ray flaw detectors not only ensure the safety and efficiency of flaw detection work, but also set a new benchmark for standardized operation in China’s industrial testing field. Through continuous technological innovation and standardized operations, we will move towards a safer and more efficient future of industrial testing.
