Overview of the SoftwareNDT Calculator program

This document provides an overview 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.
