Digital imaging system for linac X-rays for NDE of case bonded solid rocket motors
Digital X-ray radiography has been found to be an appropriate NDT tool for Quality Assurance of large size solid rocket motors, high explosive charges, etc. This technique provides quick and comparable image quality as compared to conventional film radiography. A CCD-based Digital Imaging
System (DIS) integrated with a 4 MeV linac X-ray source, installed for the first time in India at HEMRL, Pune, has produced promising image quality of the large size objects, which helps in detailed data analysis using dedicated image processing software. Furthermore, digital data can be obtained
in a very short time and stored conveniently.
