Because of the better sensitivity compared to class A, the casting may be regarded as being examined to class B, if the correct IQI sens
21、itivity is achieved. This does not apply if the special SDD reduction as specified in Clause 11 for test arrangements Figure 3 and Figure 4 are used. 5.2 Compensation principles Three rules to be applied in this standard for radiography with digital detectors to achieve sufficient contrast sensitivi
22、ty. This requires achieving a minimum contrast-to-noise ratio, normalized to the detector basic spatial resolution (CNRN) per detectable material thickness difference w. If the required normalized contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRNper w) cannot be achieved due to an insufficient value of one of the follo
23、wing parameters, this can be compensated by an increase in the signal to noise ratio (SNR): CP I: Compensation for reduced contrast (e.g. by increased tube voltage) by increased SNR (e.g. by increased tube current or exposure time). CP II: Compensation for insufficient detector sharpness (the value
24、of SRbimagehigher than specified) by increased SNR (increase in the single IQI wire or step hole value for each missing duplex wire pair value). CP III: Compensation for increased local interpolation unsharpness, due to bad pixel correction for DDAs, by increased SNR. BS EN 12681-2:2017EN 12681-2:20
25、17 (E) 15These compensation principles are based on the following approximation for small discontinuity sizes (w 50 kV to 150 kV 70 120 0 to 0,1 (Pb) X-ray potentialsa 150 kV to 250 kV 70 100 0 to 0,1 (Pb) X-ray potentialsa 250 kV to 350 kV 50 70 100 0 to 0,3 (Pb) 50 70 70 0 to 0,3 (Pb) X-ray potent

31、all be collimated as much as possible to the section under examination. With Se 75, Ir 192, Co 60 radiation sources or X-ray potentials above 120 kV, or in the case of edge scatter, a sheet of lead can be used as a filter of low energy scattered radiation between the test object and the cassette or
32、DDA. The thickness of this sheet is 0,5 mm to 2 mm in accordance with the penetrated thickness. A thin steel or copper screen should be positioned between the lead sheet and the detector. BS EN 12681-2:2017EN 12681-2:2017 (E) 26 10.2 Interception of backscattered radiation It shall be ensured that t
33、he effect of backscattered radiation is minimized. The presence of backscattered radiation shall be checked for each new CR test arrangement by means of a lead letter B (with a minimum height of 10 mm and a minimum thickness of 1,5 mm) placed immediately behind each cassette. If the image of this sy
34、mbol records as a lighter image on the digital image (negative presentation, i.e. decreased linearized grey value), it shall be rejected. If the symbol is darker (increased linearized grey value), or invisible, the digital image is acceptable and demonstrates good protection against backscattered ra
35、diation. If necessary, the detector shall be shielded from backscattered radiation by a sheet of lead of at least 1 mm thickness or a sheet of tin of at least 1,5 mm thickness, placed behind the detector. An additional shielding of steel or copper (about 0,5 mm thickness) shall be applied between th
36、e lead shield and the detector to reduce the influence of lead X-ray fluorescence radiation. No lead screens shall be used in contact with the back side of the detector for radiation energies above 80 keV. 11 Source object and detector position 11.1 General The minimum source-to-object distance fmin
37、depends on the source size or focal spot size d and on the object-to-detector distance b. The source size or focal spot size d shall be in accordance with EN 12543 or EN 12679. When the source size or focal spot size is specified by two dimensions, the larger shall be used. 11.2 Source-to-object dis
38、tance for magnification 1,5 For exposure geometries, except for those in Figures 2 b) and 3 b), the distance f shall be chosen so that the ratio of this distance to the source size d, i.e. f/d, is not below the values given by the Formulae (2) and (3): for class A: ( )2/37,5fbd(2) for class B: ( )2/
39、315fbd(3) where b is the distance given in millimetres (mm). If the distance b is less than 1,5 t, the dimension b in Formulae (2) and (3) and Figure 14 shall be replaced by the wall thickness t. For determination of the source-to-object distance fminthe nomogram in Figure 14 may be used. The nomogr
40、am is based on Formulae (2) and (3). For exposure geometries set on the basis of Figures 2 b) and 3 b), the distance f shall be chosen so that the ratio of this distance to the source size d, i.e. f/d, is not below the values given by Formulae (4) and (5): for class A: BS EN 12681-2:2017EN 12681-2:2
41、017 (E) 2737,5fbd t(4) for class B: 315fbd t(5) where t is the wall thickness to test, in millimetres (mm); b is the object-to-detector distance, in millimetres (mm). If the radiation source could be placed inside the test object to be radiographed (techniques shown in Figure 3) to achieve a more su
42、itable direction of exposition and when a double wall technique (see Figures 5 to 7) is avoided this method should be preferred. The reduction in minimum source-to-object distance should not be greater than 40 %. When the source is located centrally inside the test object and detector outside (panor
43、amic technique as shown in Figure 4) and provided that the IQI requirements are met, this percentage may be increased. However, the reduction in minimum source-to-object distance shall not be greater than 50 %. NOTE Both the inherent unsharpness (ui= 2 SRbdetector) of a digital detector system and t
44、he geometric unsharpness (uG) contribute to the total unsharpness (uT) in the image if not corrected by means of geometric magnification see Formula (6): 22T Giu uu= +(6) Therefore, it is recommended that the distance fminis increased to compensate for any additional unsharpness of the detector syst

47、anner systems compared with the small grain size in film (which leads to film having very high spatial resolution). This difficulty can be circumvented by taking advantage of the unique property of DDAs to increase the SNRNcompensation principle II (CP II) in the image and/or the geometric magnification if needed.
