Overcome the challenge of penetrating thick-walled components and castings up to 100mm in thickness. The Exertus Fortes is a heavy-duty Industrial Gamma Ray Projector capable of handling high-activity sources (including Ir-192 and Se-75). Its high-density (DU) shielding ensures low external surface dose rates and rugged construction guarantees reliability in harsh industrial conditions. Supplier: Oserix S.A.
The Exertus Fortes is ISO3999:2004 compliant and built with robust safety features. It accepts both Ir-192 and Se-75 sources, with a maximum capacity of 120 Ci (4.44 TBq) for both isotopes. It is lighter than many competing models, weighing just 23 kg with its polyurethane jacket. A key design element is the source channel, which uses a helicoidal design and Tungsten shielding to ensure smoother movement of the source assembly, enhancing both user-friendliness and safety. It operates across a wide temperature range of -45°C up to +70°C.
Get your Exertus Fortes projector ready for operation in just two minutes. This quick start guide covers the essential steps to ensure your equipment is properly configured and ready for safe NDT inspections.
The Exertus Fortes is primarily designed as an Exposure Container in compliance with ISO 3999: 2004 and Transport Package in compliance with IAEA SSR-6 (2018).
Its function is, via the use of a Remote Control, to project a radioactive source along a Guide Tube to and from the point of radiography and to securely store the source once radiography has been completed.
The Exertus Fortes can be used for radiographic inspections of welds in pipework and pressure vessels and castings up to 100mm thick in both field and shop environments. It is ideal for field work due to its portability and robust design.
