CARESTREAM INDUSTREX DR50
INDUSTREX DR50 Film is specifi cally designed for use in multi-fi lm techniques in your demanding radiographic environment. With both high-voltage x-rays and gamma rays, DR50 will deliver consistently high contrast, very fi ne granularity, and superior sensitivity to meet your testing needs. It incorporates Carestream Health’s patented T-GRAIN Emulsion technology for superb results with direct x-rays or lead foil screens.
The Basics
DR50 Film is an extremely durable slow-speed film with very fi ne grain. It withstands high temperature and high humidity, and resists both handling and static artifacts. This fi lm is classifi ed as ASTM E 1815 Class Special and EN 584-1 Class 1.
Recommended Uses
INDUSTREX DR50 Film is available in many sizes and packaging formats, and it’s designed for a wide range of applications, including:
Aircraft inspection, Assemblies, Castings, Electrical components, Composite, fibre-reinforced, Forensics, Munitions, bomb disposal, Nuclear applications, Welded fabrication.
Processing Options
DR50 Film can be processed manually or automatically in a range of processing cycles.
