Overview of the SoftwareNDT Calculator program

This document provides a description of the settings that can be configured within the program. Calculate the optimal exposure time for radiographic testing.

Overview of the main window

Co60, Ir192, Se75:

Selection of the active isotope.

Exposure Time:

Main window for setting the exposure conditions.

Films:

Settings for the exposure sensitivity of the films.

Exposure chart:

View of the exposure curve for the selected isotopes.

Exposure time

Curie or GBq:

Activity of the selected isotope.

Film type:

Selection of the film to be used.

Source to film distance:

The distance from the radiation source to the film.

Wall thickness:

Thickness of the base material

Weld thickness:

Thickness of the weld seam.

Film density:

Selection of the film density in the base material or in the weld.

Calculated exposure time for the selected conditions:

The exposure time for the selected exposure conditions.

Film factor

Film name:

Film name of the selected film. 

Film factor:

Film factor compared to the film with a film factor of 1.0. The film with a film factor of 1.0 is the film in the exposure chart.

Calculated film factor

Old film factor:

Current film factor of the selected film.

Should film density:

Calculated film density.

Is film density:

Measured density of the film.

New Film Factor:

New film factor for the currently selected film.
