4、ge, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From 1January1997, all IEC publications have the number60000 added to the

5、old number. For instance, IEC27-1 has been renumbered as IEC60027-1. For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references Attention is drawn to the fact that CEN and CENELEC Standards normally inc

The British Standards which implement these international or European publications may be found in the BSI Standards Catalogue under the section entitled “International Standa

21、APY. 1.2 Object This standard defines the concept of PERMANENT FILTRATION in X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES for medical diagnosis and RADIOTHERAPY and describes a method for its determination. It contains requirements for statements of compliance for ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS and for markings on X-RAY TUBE ASSE

22、MBLIES. Methods are given to determine the PERMANENT FILTRATION in an X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY with an accuracy that is sufficient to enable the appropriate ADDITIONAL FILTRATION to be provided in order to attain the desired TOTAL FILTRATION. NOTE 1This standard does not contain requirements for any spec

23、ific values of PERMANENT FILTRATION or TOTAL FILTRATION to be provided. For X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES and X-RAY EQUIPMENT used for diagnostic purposes, appropriate requirements are given in IEC60601-1-3. NOTE 2The method of determination described in this standard is suitable as a type test. It is not i

24、ntended as a test to be applied by the USER. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

32、standard is given inAnnex A. 3.3 Defined terms For the purpose of this standard, the following additional definition applies. 3.3.1 PERMANENT FILTRATION the QUALITY EQUIVALENT FILTRATION effected in an X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY by permanently fixed materials intercepting the X-RAY BEAM, that are not inten

33、ded to be removed for any application and are not provided with means for removal in NORMAL USE 4 Measurement of PERMANENT FILTRATION When, in accordance with the requirements in clause5, the PERMANENT FILTRATION is to be expressed in terms of the actual filtering material (e.g.beryllium), the natur

34、e and thickness of the material present shall be determined or verified by inspection. In other cases, the following test shall be used to determine the PERMANENT FILTRATION of an X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY to be indicated or stated in accordance with this standard. 4.1 General The PERMANENT FILTRATION is

35、determined by measuring the QUALITY EQUIVALENT FILTRATION of samples of the permanently fixed materials, used in the construction of the X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY, that intercept the X-RAY BEAM. Where appropriate, a composite sample replicating the combination of the various materials and their thicknesse

36、s, as actually used in the construction, can be tested. Alternatively, the PERMANENT FILTRATION can be computed from measurements on samples of the individual materials concerned, provided that: the reference material is the same for each sample and, the RADIATION QUALITY of the X-RAY BEAM used for

37、the determination is adjusted to compensate for the absence of any components of the PERMANENT FILTRATION missing from the sample and normally located between the sample and the FOCAL SPOT. NOTEThe result of the determination is valid only for a particular combination of materials, as tested. In man

38、ufacture, the composition and thicknesses of materials actually used must be controlled within appropriate limits, in order to maintain compliance with any stated value of PERMANENT FILTRATION. 4.2 Test sample Use a test sample, replicating, in accordance with4.1, either the complete composition of

39、layers of different materials, or a layer of an individual material, as used in the construction of the X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY concerned to effect the whole or part of its PERMANENT FILTRATION. 4.3 Generation of the X-RAY BEAM for measurement To generate the X-RAY BEAM for measurement, use an X-RAY TUB

40、E with a target of the same material as the X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY under test at an X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE with a PERCENTAGE RIPPLE not exceeding10 and a value chosen as follows: a) for X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES in which the PERMANENT FILTRATION contains a material with a K-edge absorption energy at19 keV or a

41、bove, use an X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE corresponding to the K-edge energy of the material, for example20kV for molybdenum with a K-edge at19,99 keV; otherwise b) for X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES designed for a narrow range of X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE (e.g.CT-application), the NOMINAL X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE; or c) for X-RAY

42、 TUBE ASSEMBLIES with a NOMINAL X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE not exceeding65kV, the NOMINAL X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE; or d) for X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLIES with a NOMINAL X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE exceeding65kV,75kV or approximately half the NOMINAL X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE, whichever is the greater. It is desirable to avoid testing

43、close to the absorption edge of tungsten. For testing with a composite sample, use an X-RAY BEAM with negligible TOTAL FILTRATION (e.g.a beryllium window). For testing with a sample of a single material, add an appropriate thickness of the reference material between the material under test and the F

44、OCAL SPOT. This is to compensate for the effect on the RADIATION QUALITY at the ENTRANCE SURFACE of the sample of omitting any layers of material forming part of the actual PERMANENT FILTRATION.EN60522:1999 BSI 03-2000 5 4.4 RADIATION DETECTOR Use a RADIATION DETECTOR with a response that does not v

45、ary significantly over the energy range involved. 4.5 Composition of reference materials Values of HALF-VALUE LAYER and QUALITY EQUIVALENT FILTRATION determined in accordance with this standard apply to reference materials of the following composition (designated by Cu99,9 according ISO2092): alumin

46、ium of99,9% purity or higher and density 2,70gcm 3 ; copper of at least99,9% purity or higher and a density of8,90gcm 3 . 4.6 Method of measurement Measure the first HALF VALUE LAYER of the X-RAY BEAM under NARROW BEAM CONDITIONS, with the sample placed close to the FOCAL SPOT. Determine the thickne

47、ss of the reference material that is required to produce the same HALF VALUE LAYER under the same beam conditions. The resulting thickness of the reference material is the QUALITY EQUIVALENT FILTRATION of the sample. If the sample is a composite one, representing all the materials comprising the PER

48、MANENT FILTRATION, the result is also the value of the PERMANENT FILTRATION for the X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY concerned. Alternatively, add the values obtained (with the same reference material and primary beam conditions) for the QUALITY EQUIVALENT FILTRATION of samples representing all the different sin

49、gle materials forming part of the PERMANENT FILTRATION. Compliance with a stated value of PERMANENT FILTRATION is achieved if the MEASURED VALUE determined in this test is not less than the stated value and does not exceed the stated value by more than30%. 5 Indications and statements of PERMANENT FILTRATION For statements of compliance with this standard, the value of the PERMANENT FILTRATION of an X-RAY TUBE ASSEMBLY shall be expressed in millimetres the thickness of: the material concerned, if the PERMANENT FILTRATION consists o
