Description Of TCN828 Tungsten Collimator
The TCN828 Tungsten Collimator is a precision-engineered directional radiation beam control device manufactured from high-density tungsten alloy. As a directional collimator, it is designed to contain and direct the beam of radiation from a side port as a 60° conical side throw during a radiography exposure. This ensures that radiation is focused precisely on the area of interest, resulting in improved radiograph quality and safer operating conditions for radiographers.
Manufactured from high-density tungsten alloy (density 17.0–18.5 g/cm³, tungsten content 90–97%), the TCN828 Collimator offers superior radiation shielding capabilities compared to traditional lead-based alternatives. Tungsten alloy provides higher density and more effective absorption capacity against X-rays and gamma rays, while being non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The material composition complies with industry standards such as ASTM B777 and MIL-T-21014.
The TCN828 is designed as a compact yet robust component that integrates seamlessly with gamma-ray projectors and NDT equipment. Its precision-machined aperture and uniform geometry ensure consistent beam collimation performance, minimizing radioactive crosstalk and scatter radiation.
Features Of TCN828 Tungsten Collimator
High Density and Superior Radiation Shielding: Made from high-density tungsten alloy (density 17.0–18.5 g/cm³), the TCN828 collimator provides exceptional shielding effectiveness against X-rays and gamma rays.Tungsten alloy's radiation shielding ability is over 1.7 times that of lead.allowing for a more compact design without compromising protection.
Directional 60° Conical Side-Throw Beam: Features a directional collimation design that emits radiation in a 60° conical pattern from a side port.This focused beam delivery enables precise targeting of specific inspection areas, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure to surrounding regions.
Excellent Mechanical Properties: Tungsten alloy offers high hardness and can withstand mechanical stress, ensuring stability and durability during use.The material is also resistant to corrosion and maintains its structural integrity even in demanding industrial environments.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: The durability and stability of tungsten alloy ensure long service life, reducing the frequency of component replacement and lowering overall operating costs.
