Non-Destructive Testing with High-Energy Linear Accelerators

The diondo d7 is the first and only CT platform made to accommodate 1 MeV, 3 MeV, 6 MeV or 9 MeV linear accelerator x-ray sources. The system is highly customizable and able to support the weight of a linear accelerator and provide both digital radiography and CT imaging. In many cases we have been able to shield the system so that it can be used in a 450 Kvp bunker by shielding key parts of the system. The system is designed to penetrate dense bulky objects for engine blocks inspection, valves bodies, truck tires and large turban blades. The focus is material analysis, detection of porosities, inclusions, cracks, metrology and bonding. The system can be used with two sources and due to its granite construction, it will have a very low level of activation life at high energies and with neutron sources.

 

High Energy CT Scanners

The diondo D7 and Custom CT solutions provide engineering the tool that they need to inspect large or highly dense objects. Aerospace manufacturers of large boosters utilize our X-ray Computed Tomography in their quality testing laboratories to inspect for small cracks, material separation, porosities and inclusions. The scans of large dense material are made much quicker because he high energy output from the LINAC provides more photons through the object to the detector. 

Linear Accelerator CT

As the complexity of modern machinery has grown, visual examination, once the principal means of determining quality, has been replaced by more sophisticated and automated methods. But the basic tenets of non-destructive testing (NDT), such as to ensure product integrity and reliability, and to avoid failures and prevent accidents, remain the same. diondo's linear accelerator CT Systems d7 provide users with the power to penetrate materials and reveal any tiny cracks and flaws without impairing the objects’ future usefulness. Linear accelerator CT Systems are well suited for applications as diverse as testing large castings, rocket motors, pressure vessels, pipelines, and even unexploded ordinance. diondo d7 is versatile and capable. Increased demands on machines, engineering demands for better materials, manufacturing demands for quality, and the rising costs of failures have resulted in a greater need for NDT technology to more accurately investigate the material integrity of the test object.

 

The diondo d7 delivers outstanding performance, including short overall scanning times and high defect sensitivity. The high energy CT system by diondo provides excellent performance for computer tomography (CT), and real-time radioscopy (RTR). diondo's NDT solutions are ideal for automotive and aerospace applications, and well suited for infrastructure inspection that verifies the integrity, and identifies flaws and voids in components. The beam selection ranges from the high power 9 MV designed for the inspection of very thick sectioned materials, to 1 and 3 MV.

To accommodate a variety of system integration requirements the diondo d7 is offered in several shielding packages, power requirements, and interface options. The diondo d7’s versatile selection of field size, energy, and dose optimizes image quality.
