Computed Radiography

Reliability, Versatility and Performance in Harsh NDT Environments
The CRxFlex computed radiography scanner from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies
combines flexibility, reliability, dynamic range and ease-of-use.
Designed specifically for applications in non-destructive testing, the CRxFlex is suitable
for usage with both isotopes and X-ray sources. It is well suited for a broad range of
applications in the aerospace, oil & gas, power generation and automotive industries.

Versatility

Superior Image Quality

The CRxFlex phosphor scanner also offers extremely wide dynamic
range and high signal-to-noise ratio, which typically results in
streamlined technique development and higher component
throughput. A broad range of thicknesses can be inspected in a
single exposure with the wide dynamic range making the CRxFlex a
perfect match for the inspection of castings and/or piping for
erosion/corrosion. This capability also leads to less exposures and
fewer re-takes.

Because of its specially designed optics, true square 50 micron pixel
size and its unique 30 micron laser spot size, the CRxFlex can
guarantee image quality with excellent IQI sensitivity. This superior
image quality is supported by its BAM certificate that states that
CRxFlex is IP Class Special/60 (ASTM E2446-05) and/or IP Class 1/60
(EN 14784-1) — ideal for weld inspection.

Rhythm® Software
Flexibility
One of the more unique features that the CRxFlex offers is it’s ability
to be utilized with either hard cassettes (in which the phosphor
imaging plate never leaves the cassette) or the ability to scan any
size of phosphor screen up to 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 inches): any
unique shape or size: circles, triangles, rectangles, pie shape, etc.
These unique sizes can be exposed using a soft, flexible cassette
and then scanned by the CRxFlex.

Reliability
The robust CRxFlex has a small tabletop footprint and is designed for
reliable operation in the harshest of NDT environments.
Its modular internal construction allows ease of servicing and
features long mean-times-between-failures (MTBF) and maintenance
(MTBM) — minimizing downtime and maximizing uptime.

Horizontal Transport System
The CRxFlex has a state-of-the-art, horizontal transport system that
is designed to have limited, or no direct contact with the imaging
plate during the scanning process. The result of this is that there is
no imaging plate damage and/or physical wear that occurs during
the scan. The phosphor scanner can accept imaging plates that are
used with soft cassettes and/or can be used in a hard cassette for
applications in which the imaging plate would not have to be
removed from the cassette — extending the life of the imaging plate.

The CRxFlex, in conjunction with the GE’s Rhythm software,
allows users to acquire, review, report and archive inspection data.
The DICONDE-compliant Rhythm platform also permits image
enhancement and data sharing to provide significant improvements
in productivity and faster identification of defect indications.

various industries.

Imaging Plates
Our offering consists of different types of phosphor imaging plates.
The plates have special/proprietary protection layers that prevent
scratches and damage. Odd sizes and/or shapes up to 35 x 43 cm
(14” x 17”) imaging plates and associated inserts can be manufactured
to support your specific application and scanned by the CRxFlex.
Fewer Retakes
High tolerance for varying exposure conditions and a greater
freedom in the selection of the exposure dose.
Dose Reduction
In many cases, imaging plates allow the visualization of all
diagnostic information with only one exposure.
Long Lifetime
Imaging plates are protected by an EBC (electron-beam-cured)
topcoat. This results in plates with superb protection from
mechanical wear and excellent chemical resistance.
Image Quality
The composition of the imaging plate storage phosphor material
ensures optimum performance. The material has high absorption
efficiency, excellent homogeneity and short response time to
ensure high sharpness and contrast.

Cassettes
GE cassettes are specifically designed for NDT applications.
The CR cassettes are lightweight and very simple to use. Synthetic
material provides maximum rigidity for overall durability.
The higher radiation energies used in industrial X-ray makes the use
of standard medical cassettes impossible. Therefore, the cassettes
can be supplied with built-in, front lead (Pb) screens of 250µm
(0.010”) and are always lead-backed with 150µm (0.006”) to ensure
optimal backscatter protection resulting in optimal image quality.
