RT LESSON 14

QUIZ
Kindly select A for TRUE & B for FALSE 1 to 17
1. Lead foil screen will emit a fluorescent light when bombarded with a very high energy X-ray
and are therefore useful in industrial radiography.
2. The lead foil screen which is placed in back of the radiographic film is usually thicker than
the front screen to help prevent back scatter.
3. Lead foil screen act as intensifiers primarily because of the Compton and Photoelectric effect.
4. Fluorescent intensifying screens actually produce a visible light, which helps to expose the
film.
5. The intensification effect of lead screens is most effective below 150 KV.
6. Fluorometallic intensification screens can be used when you wish to penetrate a relatively
thick specimen with a limited KV.
7. Flexible film holders should be used with intensifying screens because they provide the best
film-to-screen contact during exposure.
8. The primary use of the penetrameter is to compare with defects for acceptability.
9. The 1T hole in the penetrameter represents the thickness of the penetrameter.
10. The 2T hole in the penetrameter is usually 2 % of the part thickness.
11. The identification number of 10 on an ASTM penetrameter represents the thickness of the
penetrameter in thousandths of inch.
12. The sensitivity or quality level of 2 - 2T on a radiograph would indicate the 2T hole must be
visible in a penetrameter that is 2 % of the part thickness.
13. The 4T hole represents a hole diameter that is four times the thickness of the penetrameter.
14. Filters can be used to provide greater latitude in recording specimen thicknesses.
15. The filter is most effective when placed between the specimen and the film.
16. Masking with lead or metal shot is effective in increasing the energy of the X-ray beam
through intensification, thereby decreasing scatter.
17. Masking should not be used in making a critical radiograph because of the fuzziness may
be caused in the edges of the specimen.
