Structurix Quality Assurance Tools
Standard for control of lm processing
by means of reference values.
To assist our customers in making sure the
lm systems render the expected
capability in daily use, we refer to the
standards for radiographic examination.
EN444, ISO 5579, ASTM E94 and others
specify that the user has to process the
lms in accordance with the conditions
recommended by the manufacturer and
pay special attention to monitor and
control developing, xing and washing.
ASTM E94 states: “To produce a
satisfactory radiograph, the care used in
making the exposure must be followed by
equal care in processing. The most careful
radiographic techniques can be nullied
by incorrect or improper darkroom
procedures.”
Therefore, EN 584 and ISO 11699 consist
of two parts. EN 584-2 and ISO 11699-2
describe how the user should control his
or her processing system. For instance, to
guarantee the designed lm system’s
performance, calibrated pre-exposed
strips provided by the lm manufacturer
must be used.
We designed the Structurix Quality
Assurance Tools, a set of practical,
dedicated tools for the radiographer to
control and prove compliance of his or her
entire system.
