13、d ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technica

14、l committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of ele

15、ctrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires

16、 approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard

17、ISO 7004 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 42, Photography. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7004:1987), of which it constitutes a technical revision.

18、 2002 All irthgs ersedevr vIntroduction This International Standard specifies methods for measuring the ISO speed, ISO average gradient and ISO gradients G2 and G4 of industrial radiographic film systems when exposed directly to X- and -radiation. Many countries have had national standards relating

19、to this subject for many years and may provide values which are different from those obtained by following the procedure specified in this International Standard. Because the photographic characteristics of a film system are dependent on the energy distribution in the wavelength spectrum, four repre

20、sentative sources are specified for determining sensitometric characteristics. To minimize the differences between national standards and this International Standard, the minimum requirements for X-ray tubes and X-ray generators have been considered mandatory and have been clearly specified in the s

21、ubclause on radiation quality (5.3.3). This International Standard imposes limiting specifications on the thickness of the metallic screens often used in conjunction with the film as specified in the basic rules for good radiographic practice in ISO 5579. Photographic results are also dependent on t

22、he chemical process used to develop the film. This International Standard does not attempt to specify the processing method; therefore, when ISO speed or ISO gradient values are given for a film system, it is necessary to specify not only the radiation quality used but also the process. This will pe

23、rmit the comparison of systems consisting of film and film processing.

37、 SO 2002 All irthgs ersedevr 34 Sampling and storage In determining the sensitometric curve, ISO speed, ISO average gradient and ISO gradients G2 and G4 of a film system, it is important that the samples evaluated yield the average results obtained by users. This will require evaluating several diff

38、erent batches periodically under conditions specified in this International Standard. Prior to evaluation, the samples shall be stored according to the manufacturers recommendations for a length of time that simulates the average age at which the product is normally used. Several independent evaluat

39、ions shall be made to ensure the proper calibration of equipment and processes. The basic objective in selecting and storing samples as described above is to ensure that the film characteristics are representative of those obtained by a consumer at the time of use. 5 Method of test 5.1 Principle Sam

40、ples are exposed and processed as specified in 5.3 and 5.4. Measurements are obtained from the resultant images to produce a sensitometric curve from which values are taken and used to determine ISO speed, ISO average gradient and ISO gradients G2 and G4. 5.2 Safelights To eliminate the possibility

41、of safelight illumination affecting the sensitometric results, all films shall be handled in complete darkness during exposure and processing. 5.3 Exposure 5.3.1 Film holders Film/screen combinations shall be exposed in holders which provide less than 2 % absorption of the radiation specified (witho

42、ut taking into account lead screens). 5.3.2 Sample condition During exposure, the samples shall be at a temperature of 23 C 5 C and in equilibrium with air at a relative humidity of 50 % 20 %. 5.3.3 Radiation quality 5.3.3.1 General Four specific exposing sources (two X-ray sources and two g-ray sou

43、rces) are recognized in this International Standard to cover the range of exposing conditions used in practice. The selection of which of the four sources is used to determine ISO speed, ISO average gradient and ISO gradients G2 and G4 depends on how the film system is used. To improve the reproduci

44、bility of exposures when X-ray tubes are used, the X-ray generator shall fulfil the following requirements (based on ISO 4037-1): a) X-radiations shall be produced by an X-ray unit of the constant-voltage type; b) during an irradiation, the main value of the high voltage shall be stable within 1 %;

45、it should be possible to display the mean value of the high voltage with a tolerance of 1 %; c) the target of the X-ray tube shall be made of tungsten and shall be of the reflection type; the target angle should be about 22.

46、ys from a low potential source The film/screen combination under test shall be exposed to X-rays from tungsten target tubes. Inherent filtration of the tube, plus an additional copper filter located as close to the target as possible shall provide a filtration equivalent to 2,0 mm 0,1 mm of copper.

47、All copper filters specified in this International Standard shall be made of 99,9 % pure copper. The potential across the X-ray tube shall be adjusted until the half-value absorption is obtained with 1,0 mm 0,1 mm of copper (i.e. the intensity of the X-ray beam with a filtration equivalent to 3,0 mm

48、 shall be one- half the value obtained with the total filtration equivalent to 2,0 mm of copper). A potential of approximately 120 kV generally meets this requirement. No lead screens shall be used. This is designated source (1). 5.3.3.3 X-rays from a high potential source The film/screen combinatio

49、n under test shall be exposed to X-rays from tungsten target tubes. Inherent filtration of the tube, plus an additional copper filter located as close to the target as possible shall provide a filtration equivalent to 8,00 mm 0,05 mm of copper. The potential across the X-ray tube shall be adjusted until the half- value absorption is obtained with 3,5 mm 0,2 mm of copper. A potential of approximately 220 kV generally meets th
