What is the difference between DR, CR, and film imaging?
1、 Imaging Principles (1) DR is a direct conversion technology for X-rays, which uses flat panel detectors to receive X-rays. Flat panel detectors include CCD, amorphous silicon, amorphous selenium, and other types. The crystal circuit covered by the detector directly converts X-rays into digital current. (2) CR is an indirect conversion technology for X-rays, which uses an image board as an X-ray detector. The image board immediately emits fluorescence after being irradiated by X-rays. During this process, nearly half of the energy of X-rays is lost, and residual X-ray intensity changes in spatial images are stored in the form of latent images. The latent image signal decays over time. When the scanner scans the image board, the latent image signal is converted into visible light by laser and sent to the computer for imaging through the photoelectric system. (3) X-ray film imaging technology is the process of X-ray irradiation on the emulsion layer of the film, where the silver halide crystals inside the emulsion layer undergo chemical reactions and coalesce with adjacent silver halide crystals that have also been irradiated by X-ray, depositing on the film and leaving an image. The more light the emulsion layer receives, the more crystals will coalesce together. The less light the emulsion layer receives, the less changes and coalescence of the crystals will occur. Without light falling on the emulsion, there will be no crystal changes or coalescence. From this, different images are obtained. 二、 Image quality (1) Resolution • Due to its own structure, the CR system scatters phosphorus particles in the image board when exposed to X-ray radiation, causing latent image blurring. More seriously, during the process of reading out the image, the excitation of the scanner generates scattering when penetrating the deep part of the image board, forming stimulated fluorescence along the path, blurring the image and reducing its resolution. • The DR system does not have optical blurring, and its clarity is mainly determined by pixel size. High spatial resolution, wide dynamic adjustable range, and rich image post-processing functions can achieve satisfactory diagnostic results. • The DR system does not have optical blur, and its clarity is mainly determined by pixel size. High spatial resolution, wide dynamic adjustable range, and rich image post-processing functions can achieve satisfactory diagnostic results The size of silver iodide particles in high-quality film imaging can reach tens of micrometers or even smaller, so the film can achieve very high resolution. (2) Exposure tolerance Compared to X-ray film imaging technology, CR and DR have a wide dynamic range and tolerance due to the use of digital technology. However, the DR system allows for technical errors in photography and can obtain good images even in situations where conditions are difficult to master. (3) Noise There are many noise sources in the CR system, including structural noise of the image trigger, fluctuations introduced in the conversion and detection of X-ray photons, laser power drift, laser beam position drift, probability fluctuations of laser beam image trigger emission, and noise in the electronic chain. The noise in the DR system is mainly structural noise, but since DR can automatically restore the detector array before directly obtaining the image, it greatly reduces structural noise. In contrast, the signal-to-noise ratio of DR is much higher than that of CR. 3、 Exposure dose The DR system can directly obtain digital image data, while the CR system uses residual latent images to generate images, and the signal decays over time. Therefore, compared to DR and X-ray film imaging technologies, the X-ray quantum conversion rate (DQE) of CR is relatively low, and the exposure dose requirement is high. 4、 Comparison of workflow (1) To generate an image in the CR system, the IP board needs to be exposed first, and then read out by the scanner. The entire process requires multiple steps and takes a long time. (2) In the DR system, images can be obtained within 40 seconds after exposure, and the detector can be fixed inside the device, eliminating the need for technicians to move the detector, reducing labor intensity, saving time, and improving work efficiency. (3) The image formation of film imaging consists of three stages: development, fixation, and visible image formation, which can be completed by manual washing or by a film developing machine. 5、 Network integration Both CR and DR systems obtain digital images and can be connected to the internet. But DR is a direct conversion technology, and the integrated DICOM3.0 standard protocol makes DR's network integration characteristics stronger. DR technology has revolutionized conventional projection X-ray imaging, surpassing CR and X-ray film imaging in many aspects. 6、 Image storage Traditional film preservation, management, and retrieval require a significant amount of manpower, material resources, and time. In addition, film will gradually deteriorate with increasing storage time, resulting in a decrease in image quality. CR and DR digital images can be managed in a digital electronic manner using massive computer storage, eliminating the need for a large and difficult to maintain film library. 7、 Defect judgment The evaluation of film imaging technology relies on film evaluators. This method is simple, but labor-intensive, subjective, and inconsistent. At present, the vast majority of weld defect inspections, including film imaging and digital imaging, use manual judgment, and the use of automatic recognition technology for general defect detection is not yet mature enough. However, in industries such as PCB boards, aluminum wheels, and lithium batteries, automatic defect detection systems improve product consistency and quality assurance. 8、 Equipment cost For large enterprises, the cost of purchasing digital imaging systems is relatively high, but the cost of saving film in two years or even one year is equivalent to that of digital imaging systems. In the long run, the cost of adopting digital imaging is much lower than the cost of film. 9、 Environmental protection Both CR and DR eliminate the pollution of industrial heavy metals and the generation of harmful wastewater during film processing, which is beneficial for environmental protection.MORE -

Ultrasonic phased array application ② - phased array ultrasonic testing scheme for mold steel
Background Ultrasonic phased array technology originated from medical ultrasound testing. In the early 1970s, commercial phased array systems for medical diagnosis first appeared; In the early 21st century, portable, battery powered phased array instruments for industrial applications emerged. The industrial phased array ultrasonic imaging technology adopts a new method of transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. By controlling the excitation time and order of each element in the transducer array, the phase relationship of the sound waves emitted (or received) by each element when they reach (or come from) a certain point in the object is changed, achieving changes in the focus and direction of the sound beam, and completing the acoustic imaging technology. According to the Huygens principle, the wavefront of any ultrasonic wave can be seen as a combination of several sub wave sources emitting coherent ultrasonic waves. Conversely, coherent ultrasonic waves emitted by neatly arranged micro transducers (array probes) can form specific beams and wavefronts. By delaying the electrical pulses that excite each chip of the array probe according to a certain law (focusing law) through the controller, the shape and propagation direction of the ultrasonic beam can be changed with the variation of the delay law. Testing methods and equipment ① Method: Industrial phased array ultrasound imaging technology, as a novel, efficient, and highly technological ultrasound testing method, is different from the A-ultrasound that we have been using routinely. Let's compare it with the table below: Summary: From the comparison in the table above, it is not difficult to see the advantages of phased array technology compared to conventional ultrasonic testing technology: 1) The detection speed is fast.

A probe can scan dozens or even hundreds of probe angles, greatly improving the detection ability; 5) Capable of achieving various imaging methods such as B/C/D/S, making defect detection more intuitive and clear; 6) Capable of achieving dynamic (several passive) focusing, greatly improving the ability to detect small defects, with a detection error of less than 0.1mm; ② Equipment: CTS-PA22A phased array ultrasonic testing instrument is a newly developed portable phased array testing instrument by Shantou Ultrasound; The instrument adopts a waterproof and oil resistant panel, with a fanless design and touchscreen operation, achieving full process recording of testing data.

Welding seam inspection of high-density polyethylene (PE) plastic pipes
1. Background High density polyethylene (PE) pipelines have the characteristics of light weight, hygiene and safety, low water flow resistance, energy saving, metal saving, improved living environment, long service life, safety and convenience, and are favored by the pipeline engineering industry. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of China's macro economy, plastic pipelines in China have experienced rapid development against the backdrop of the rapid development of chemical and building materials. In 2010, the national production of plastic pipelines exceeded 8 million tons. Plastic pipelines have many advantages over traditional metal pipes and concrete pipes in multiple fields, and therefore have been recommended for use in many regions. Due to the characteristics of plastic pipes themselves, they have been widely used in industrial fields, and due to the shortcomings of adhesive connection methods, such as low strength, poor adhesion of PE materials, while fusion welding overcomes the shortcomings of adhesive and threaded connections, achieving higher strength and reliable tightness than the plastic pipes themselves. Electric fusion connection process: Electric fusion connection is an advanced method of connecting the inner wall of the pipe fitting and the surface of the pipeline by using a specialized pipe fitting embedded with an electric heating wire. After connecting to the power supply, the electric heating wire is generated, which can melt the inner wall of the pipe fitting and the surface of the pipeline. Hot melt connection process: Hot melt connection is an advanced plastic welding process that uses specialized heating elements such as heating plates, heating rods, and heating sleeves to generate heat energy to complete the docking of plastic pipes and fittings, as well as socket and saddle connections (branch pipes). High welding quality and fast speed. It can perform manual, semi-automatic, and automatic welding. 2. Testing methods and equipment The existing available ultrasonic testing methods include TOFD and PAUT, both of which require the use of proprietary water injection wedges for local water coupling. 3. Test results 3.1 Electric fusion welding seam For plastic pipes welded by electric fusion, the phased array probe can be placed on the outer wall of the pipe fitting, so that the position and morphology of the resistance wires inside the pipe fitting can be seen. If there are other signals besides the resistance wire signal, it can be considered as fusion defects. The detection results are as follows, and the signal of the resistance wire can be clearly seen. The impact of different focusing depths on the detection results is as follows. It can be seen that in PE tube detection, there are small differences in focusing depth and significant signal differences. Therefore, in process design, focusing depth becomes the key to setting. The actual detection results of PE pipes are as follows: 3.2 Hot melt welding inspection results Using phased array technology to detect hot melt welds, a flat bottom hole is made horizontally at the end of the PE pipe to simulate unfused defects in the hot melt weld. The detection results obtained by using phased array sector scanning are shown below, and all defects of different sizes and positions can be seen. The following figure shows the detection results of phased array detection in hot melt welded pipes, showing obvious root unfused defects. Due to the PE pipe welding being a butt weld without a groove, the signal of unfused defects is displayed in a vertical direction. The following figure shows the phased array detection results, with obvious defect signals visible. The signal is displayed in the depth B scan image as running through the depth direction and has a very short length. The following figure shows the detection results of TOFD in hot melt welded pipes. Clear defect signals can be seen in the TOFD image, and the signal shows a clear upper endpoint signal (opposite to the phase of the straight wave), which causes significant disturbance to the bottom wave. It is determined that the ground opening type is not fused. The following figure shows the detection results of TOFD in hot melt welded pipes. It can be seen from the figure that a clear defect signal at the root is a disturbance, while the straight wave on the upper surface is also disturbed. The scanning direction length is very short, indicating that the defect is a through-hole type defect. Use TOFD detection technology to detect hot melt welded pipes. Below are TOFD images of grooves on the upper and lower surfaces and drilled holes in the middle. The defect signals in different parts of the weld seam are clearly visible in the image, and the material noise inside the plastic is relatively low, with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The following are the test results of three different types of slag inclusions inside the weld seam. 4. Conclusion The use of ultrasonic phased array technology can detect unmerged defects in electric fusion welding welds, and can clearly display the signal of the resistance wire and the bottom wave signal. The use of TOFD combined with phased array technology can detect unmerged defects in hot melt welded joints, especially the strong detection ability of TOFD for unmerged defects in the vertical direction; In the current era, domestic and international technologies are constantly emerging, and technological innovation is constantly emerging. Mature technologies such as PE pipe testing, corrosion testing of steel pipes through insulation layers, testing of composite materials and fiberglass, bolt stress and internal defect testing, etc., have already been developed to achieve the expected results of testing; We, Ge Yu Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., are committed to cutting-edge trends, delving into new foreign technologies and combining them with domestic technical characteristics and the needs of owners.
