The Right Packaging for Every Structurix Film
GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies
offers different forms of packaging,
all in accordance with the ISO 5655
norm. Whatever the application of
industrial radiography, there is a
right Structurix film available, in the
right packaging. No object is too
large or too small. An X-ray film of
the appropriate size is available for
every exposure. Structurix films are
supplied in all standard sheet and
roll sizes (special sizes on demand)
and in darkroom or daylight
packaging.
PRACTICAL DAYLIGHT PACKAGING
Time saving
Structurix lm are packed on ultramodern
packaging machines. This ready-to-use
packaging can be placed directly on the
object to be X-rayed, which saves valuable
time that would otherwise be used to
manually place the lm in cassettes in the
darkroom.
Improved quality
To guarantee optimal packaging quality,
all lms are packed automatically in an
ISO 9001-2000 environment, using new
lead screens for each. By excluding all
so-called lm faults, such as dust in the
packaging and faults caused by the lead,
the need for reshoots is eliminated, saving
you time and money.
More economical
Ease of use, both during exposure and in
the darkroom, and the avoidance of
reshoots combine to provide maximum
productivity.
Easy identication
The lm type is clearly marked on all
daylight lm packages. “Pb” means the
lm is sandwiched between lead screens
(0.027 mm). Daylight packed sheets have
a center cross on the envelope to allow for
easy positioning. Sheets are provided in a
strong and easy-to-use, ip-top box. Rolls
come in a rigid dispenser box.
SHEET FILM IN DAYLIGHT PACKAGING
Pb VACUPAC
Completely light-tight, airtight and
moisture proof Pb VACUPAC is the perfect
daylight packaging. The Structurix X-ray
lms with Pb screens have a standard
thickness of 0.027 mm and are
vacuum-packed in a completely light
tight, airtight and moisture proof foil
complex. The foil,
a spin off from space technology, is a
metallic polymer involving the deposition
of vaporized aluminum under vacuum.
The synthetic foil ensures that VACUPAC
can be used under extremely dirty and
damp conditions. Pb VACUPAC is ideal for
applications with energies higher than 100 kV.
Optimal image quality
The vacuum between the Structurix lm
and the lead screens guarantees optimal
image denition. Film/screen contact is
retained fully, even when VACUPAC is
placed around a spherical or curved work
piece.
Easy to use
Either side of the wrapper can be placed
on the object to be tested. A center cross
on the envelope allows easy positioning.
In addition, VACUPAC can be opened in
one simple movement, thanks to the easy
peel-off feature.
Extra vacuum protection
Each pack of 100 sheets is supplied “in vacuo” to
preserve the vacuum well beyond the expiration date.
