A1 - Zscherpel, Uwe A1 - Ewert, Uwe T1 - Improved Procedure for Computed Radiography - A Comparative Study on Welded Tube Sections by Film Radiography and Computed Radiography T2 - 17th World Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (Proceedings) N2 - Different girth welds of tube sections have been inspected by elliptical projection technique according to the EN 1435. The radiographic images were taken by using both film radiography and computed radiography. The purpose of this study was to compare a C3 (AGFA D4) film system and a Duerr HDCR 35 NDT / HR IP imaging plate system with respect to the exposure time, image quality and the detection of fine weld imperfections. The results indicate to a dominant influence of the lead screens on the image contrast sensitivity if doing the inspection according to the EN 14748 -2 for imaging plate exposures. New screen combinations had been applied to make a computed radiograph of a testing class B quality possible.
