PP-97480
FILM VIEWER FOR INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHY
Characteristics
PP-97480 film viewer is an innovative successor of a good-selling
PP-9748 film viewer. The PP-97480 film viewer is intended for
visual checking of developed radiographs of high densities range,
especially of films for industrial radiography the sizes of which are
100x480 mm and similar ones. The viewed radiographs are laid on
opaque glass screen and they are lit through with an intensive light
source.
Film viewer using size-reduction masks with magnetic holding is
also suitable for films of 60mm width or other small film sizes.
The mains cable and the foot-switch cable are removable for easy
transport. The innovative construction of the light reflector
increases available brightness of the screen. A new shape of air
vents increases the air-cooling and reduces a noise. Also total
weight is reduced.
PP-97480 film viewer consists of a solid steel sheet case with powder-painted surface. In both sides of the viewer case cooling fans
are built in, providing forced cooling of the internal space of viewer. Air intake and air deflectors arrangement inside the viewer case
provide a contra flow cooling of optical elements. Hot air is taken out through the perforation holes in both the case sides. This
arrangement provides a maximum cooling of viewer screen with good impact on the elimination of heat deformation of the viewed
films. The viewer is equipped with a flexible handle for enabling easy carrying.
The light power of the used iodide bulbs is increased by a light reflector, which also decreases the negative impact of thermal
radiation on the viewer case. The light source arrangement in combination with the used opaque glasses provide a low disturbance
of the luminance of the viewing screen and a high brightness level necessary for the viewing of films with high densities. The heat
stress of radiographs is minimized by the dethermal glass filter.
The light source is powered from mains with a triac phase-controlled regulation unit. After switching on the film viewer with a main
switch, a dimmed luminance of the screen is set. After pressing the foot-switch a setting knob on the front panel can be used for
regulating of the screen brightness within the whole range (0-100%). Setting the above mentioned dimmed background luminance
decreases the exhaustion of the operators eyes during the manipulating with developed radiographs in dark environment. The
advantages of the foot-switch control are especially decreasing of electricity consumption, and a heat stress of the viewer, and doing
away with a thermal curling of the radiographs.

Film composition
INDUX line films are manufactured by coating of a light-sensitive
silver bromo-iodide emulsion on both sides of a bluish polyester
base 0,175 mm thick. The emulsion layers are protected against
mechanical impacts by effective protective gelatine layers
featuring anti-static properties. The sensitivity of film to visible light
is reduced by means of a desensitization dye being added to the
emulsion layers.

FOMATEST THIO
THE KIT FOR CHECKING STABILITY OF PROCESSED X-RAY FILMS
Rating of the product
FOMATEST THIO is a kit for a simple check of stability of processed X-ray films INDUX in terms of their ability to be archived. By
means of the test kit inadequate fixing and washing processing of the film, whick makes the stability of the exposed image and the
service life of the film shorter may be determined immediately.
The FOMATEST THIO kit is supplied in a box containing a small bottle with 30 ml of FOMATEST THIO, a dropper, an etalon strip,
application instructions, and a package of paper filters.
Testing
Selection of the test area
The test is done on a completely processed and dry radiogram, where an absolutely clear and unexposed spot of about 1 square
cm is selected (which is not part of the image, because the chemicals leave yellowish coloration). If there is no such spot on the
film, the test may be performed on an unexposed film that was processed under identical conditions as the tested radiogram.
The basic test
The dropper is held about 1 to 2 cm above the tested zone of the film and one drop of FOMATEST THIO is released without the
dropper touching the surface. The chemical reacts within 2 minutes plus minus 15 sec. Using a small piece of the filter paper the
drop is absorbed carefully, again without touching the tested area of the film at all. The remaining fluid is removed by pressing
finger lightly on the filter paper. The emulsion must not be damaged by the filter paper. The tested zone is dried by airflow. The
described procedure is repeated on the reverse side of the film on the same place.
Test evaluation
The film must be protected against the effects of direct sunlight or other intense light sources. The film must be evaluated as soon
as possible, not later than 30 minutes after the test. Delay in evaluation may result in incorrect evaluation, because the yellow spot
on the tested area darkens gradually. The tested area is placed over a standard white background and compared visually with the
enclosed etalon strip positioned next to the test spot. The etalon colour that is closest to the colour of the spot identifies the
expected life of the radiograph.
Colour grades of the etalon correspond to values in the following table:
Color grade
1. darkest
2. dark
max. 0.20
3. light
max. 0.10
4. lightest
max. 0.04
Archivability in years
Life expectancy (LE)1/
must be checked and corrected for the application. Thereafter, the film must be fixed again in the fresh solution and rinsed again in running water. Older processed films may
be fixed and rinsed again. For automatic processing the films may be placed in the fixing cell and drawn through the fixer and rinse, and dried. In manual processing the films
are fixed for 2 minutes in a fresh fixer and rinsed for 10 to 15 minutes in running water. Finally, the FOMATEST THIO test is repeated.
Storage
The solution must be stored in a dry and cool, preferably dark place. The bottle must be closed tight after use. The color chips
should be protected against contact with chemical solutions (alcohol, acetone, ethers, etc.).
Safety precautions
Avoid contact of FOMATEST THIO solution with the skin, clothing, and photographic materials. Should the skin or eyes come into
contact with FOMATEST THIO, the affected spot should be rinsed with clear water immediately. The solution stains and the spots
are difficult to remove.

Application
1. Proof of standard processing according to EN 584-2
Classification of a film system into C1C6 classes according
to EN 584-2 anticipates a standard processing quality. If a
proof should be presented to a customer that a given film
series has been classified correctly according to EN 584-1 by
an NDT workstation, it is necessary to check the processing
quality by Fomatest SC 981 before and after the series. This
test allows for measuring and evaluation of minimum density
Dmin, speed index Sx and contrast index Cx. If these
sensitometric characteristics before and after processing of
the series keep within the tolerated limits, the whole series is
considered as satisfactory. The procedure of proofing is
specified by EN 584-2 .
Processing
INDUX R2 is intended both for the manual and automatic
processing.
Recommended chemicals for the manual processing:
FOMADUX LP-T Developer and Developer-Replenisher

General information
INDUX R4 is an industrial radiographic film intended for non-destructive
material testing using X- or gamma radiation.
INDUX R4 is a medium-speed, high-contrast, extremely fine-grain film
suitable for radiography with or without lead screens. It is an ideal film for
most standard applications.
INDUX R4 corresponds with the class C3 classification according to
EN 584-1 standard and according to ASTM E 1815 standard with class I.
Applications
INDUX R4 should be used at low voltages for the radiography of thin-tomedium thick-walled light metal parts/ products. At higher voltages the
film is suitable for the testing of thick-walled light metal or thin-walled
steel parts/products. With high-energy gamma rays the film is suitable for
the radiography of thick-walled dense metal parts/products.
