“WHAT´S WRITTEN IN THE SPECIFICATIONS IS TRUE - THE PXS EVO

INDEED DELIVERS ON ALL IT ADVERTISES”.René Andersen, NDT Inspector at Applus+ RTD

APPLUS+ RTD INSPECTION SITE, THE NETHERLANDS. Applus+ RTD is a world-leading authority in radiographic

testing – a technique ideally suited for the detection of

imperfections in materials throughout industrial operations

and applications. René Andersen conducts on-site weld

seam inspections on a multitude of pipes and installations

for Applus+ RTD.

While researching NDT equipment he was impressed by

the PXS EVO 300DS specifications and was convinced

it was exactly what Applus+ RTD needed in their NDT

portfolio. When testing the PXS EVO system, René realized

that the EVO 300DS indeed delivers on all it advertises.

His key findings was that the 1.0 mm focal spot, enables

superior image quality and detection of fine details within

close proximity of one another. He also realized that the

combination of the kV range and small focal spot, shortens

the distance between the X-ray source and target. This in-

turn reduces exposure times, thus increasing the overall

number of exposures the EVO 300DS can produce during

its life cycle.

The EVO 300DS is not only a viable investment, it also

ensures that Applus+ RTD meet the demanding challenges

of radiographic testing in diverse applications.

The close partnership between COMET and Applus+

RTD is as strong as ever and the PXS EVO products with

small focal spot are setting a new standard for inspection

efficiency and image quality – benefiting everyone from

supplier to customer.
