19、ribed in EN 12543-1 to EN 12543-5. The scanning method (EN 12543-1) is dedicated to those applications where quantitative values for the intensity distribution and spot sizes are needed, i. e. calibration and image processing purposes. The radiographic methods (EN 12543-2 and EN 12543-3) describe th

20、e traditional techniques and are dedicated for certification purposes and for field application up to 200 kV. Where no pinhole or slit cameras are available in the field, the edge method (EN 12543-4) may be applied. It repre- sents a very simple method for field application. In order to cover also t

21、he micro focus systems, a specific method is presented in EN 12543-5. 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for the measurement of focal spot dimensions within the range of 5 pm to 300 pm of X-ray systems up to and including 225 kV tube voltage, by means of radiographs of sharp edges. Th

22、e image quality and the resolution of X-ray images highly depend on the characteristics of the focal spot. The imaging qualities of the focal spot are based on the two dimensional intensity distribution in the object plane. For certification purposes the radiographic technique is used. NOTE ment may

26、ay tube, as seen from the measuring device EN 12543-11. 4 Test method 4.1 Principle and equipment This method is based on indirect measurement of the focal spot size by measuring the geometric unsharpness. For this purpose sharp edges are imaged either on a film or by means of a radioscopic device u

27、sing a relatively high geometric magnification. The following equipment is required for the measurement if using a film: - a test object as described below, - films, min. 10 cm x 10 crn without screens, - film cassettes made of low absorbing material (e.g. polyehtylene), - a film holder, - a film pr

28、ocessing unit, - a microdensitometer capable of reading densities of D 2 3,O and having an input diaphragm d, of 10 prn or smaller. Page 4 EN 12543-5 : 1999 The following equipment is required for the measurement if using a radioscopic device: - a test object as described below, - a radioscopic devi

29、ce, e. g. any image intensifier with TV equipment, - an image processing device with the capability of producing linear intensity profiles within the radioscopic image in two directions perpendicular to each other, and with the capability to measure distances. The test object shall be either a cross

30、 wire or a ball consisting of highly absorbing material (e.g. tungsten, tungsten alloy or platinum) having a diameter between 0,9 mm and 1,l mm which has an accuracy of i 0,Ol mm. In case of using wires they shall cross each other of an angle of 90“ f 3“. The wires shall be mounted across a circular

31、 aperture in a stable frame, in such a manner that the crossing point is located in the center of the aperture. In case of using the ball it shall be mounted on a thin polyethylene support or placed into a thin polyethylene envelope. The mounting frame shall be of a size that enables the test object

32、 to be positioned very close to the window of the X-ray tube. Scattering shall be avoided as far as possible. Any use of additional X-ray prefiltering shall be avoided. In case of using a film system the following shall be ensured: The film system shall meet the requirements of film system class C2

33、according to EN 584-1 and shall be packed in low absorption polyethylene cassettes using no screens. 4.2 Selections of distances and exposure time The distance between test object and detector shall enable projective magnification between X 20 and X 100 (see figure l), where smaller focal spots requ

34、ire larger magnifications in the given range. The minimum distance between the test object and the focal spot shall be at least five times the wire or ball diameter. In case of using a cross wire, its plane shall be parallel within I 3“ to both the tube axis and the detector plane. In case of using

35、a film, the exposure time shall result in a background density of the radiograph film of D = 2,5 0,3. If no shutter is used the exposure time shall exceed 30 s. 2 I Projection magnification M = (a + b)/a Key 1 X-ray tube anode 2 test object 3 film plane Figure 1 - Positioning of test object Page 5 E

If using radiography, this shall be done with a suitable microdensitometer with an aperture of about 10 pm. If using radioscopy, the measurement shall be done using an image processor. From th

37、ese scans the diameters 4 and 0, of the test object in width and length direction shall be measured at 50 Oh of the total image contrast (points B and C), see figure 2.

From the projection the focal spot sizes I and w are calculated using equation (2) and equation (3): w = (F
