150kV FXR System
DESCRIPTION The Model 43731A Flash X-ray System provides a
70 nanosecond “burst” of 150 kV X-rays. Radiographs through several millimeters of aluminum and shadow- graphs at film-to-source distances up to 2.75 meters (9 ft.) may be obtained in a single exposure. As a result, this system is well-suited to applications involving the study of high speed projectiles, fragments, shaped charge jets, etc.
The X-ray tube may be installed inside the high voltage pulse generator (basic system configuration) or in a smaller, remote tubehead (option 032 or 033) separated by up to 30 meters (100 ft.) of coaxial cable. The remote tubehead enables positioning of the X-ray tube in areas too confined or too hazardous for the HV pulser. By using the optional soft X-ray tubes, very low density objects may also be imaged.
All hardware required for system operation is standard. Control equipment is rack-mounted in a 1.8 meter (6 ft.) cabinet and connected to the pulser by a 6 meter (20 ft.) cable bundle input.
Up to three additional 150 kV X-ray generators, option 001, can share the same control cabinet and power supply to minimize cost and floor space. Option 008 permits operation at 220 Vac, 50-60 Hz line voltage.
The Model 43731A system comes standard with all hardware required for operation, including the X-ray tube and a Model 43210A X-ray Controller (XCON) which provides both a delayed trigger for the x-ray pulser and a pulsed event timer to monitor the actual firing time of the pulser. The XCON provides a firing time delay variable from zero to 1000 milliseconds in 100 nanosecond increments and monitors the actual pulser firing time with 10 nanosecond accuracy. Delay time setting and pulsed event time monitoring can be accomplished with the users PC via an Ethernet connection.

MODEL 43734A Pulserad™
DESCRIPTION The Model 43734A Flash X-ray System provides a
25 nanosecond “burst” of 450 kV X-rays. As shown in the penetration curve at right, it will give radiographs through 18 mm (0.7 in.) of steel at 2.5 meters (8 ft.) FTSD (film-to-source distance), or a shadowgraph at FTSDs up to 9 meters (30 ft.). With this substantial penetration and extremely short exposure time, the Model 43734A System is well-suited for stop-motion radiography of high-speed projectiles and fragments, internal components in operating machinery and many other applications involving the study of moving objects. The system may be operated with the flash X-ray tube in the pulser (basic system configuration), in a remote tubehead configuration (option 032) or with X-ray tubes in two r emote tubeheads (option 035). In the dual configuration (option 035), both tubes are fired simultaneously by the same pulser and can be used to obtain orthogonal radiographs of rapidly moving objects. The resulting radiographs enable accurate position location of the object under study.
All hardware required for system operation is furnished. This includes the control equipment, housed in a 1.8 meter (6 ft.) cabinet, the X-ray generator and a 9 meter (30 ft.) interconnecting cable bundle input. The Model 43734A system comes standard with all hardware required for operation, including
the x-ray tube and a Model 43210A X-ray Controller (XCON)which provides both a delayed trigger for the x-ray pulser and a pulsed event timer to monitor the actual firing time of the pulser.

The XCON provides a firing time delay variable from
zero to 1000 milliseconds in 100 nanosecond increments and monitors the actual pulser firing time with 10 nanosecond accuracy. Delay time setting and pulsed event time monitoring can be accomplished with the users PC via an Ethernet connection. Customer furnished items are limited to regulated dry air and ac power (117 Vac, 60 Hz).
Up to three additional 300 kV X-ray generators (option 001) can share the same control cabinet and power supply to minimize cost and floor space. Option 008 permits operation at 220 Vac, 50-60 Hz line voltage.
