Description

Detailed Overview

The GD-2 is a portable, transmission-type digital densitometer designed for industrial radiography. It provides precise measurements of the optical density (blackness) of processed X-ray film to ensure compliance with international standards such as ASME or ISO.


Features & Benefits

  • Measurement Range: 0.00D to 4.20D (Optical Density).

  • Precision & Accuracy: Accurate to within ± 0.03D.

  • User Interface: Easy-to-read, backlit 3-digit LCD display.

  • Efficiency: Features a dedicated “Zero” button for quick calibration and an automatic power-off function to conserve battery life.

  • Spot Measurement: Equipped with a 4mm aperture for precise density readings on specific areas of the film.


Primary Uses & Functions

  • Quality Control: Functions as a critical QC tool in the Radiographic Testing (RT) process.

  • Compliance Verification: Measures film density to meet minimum and maximum code requirements.

  • System Compatibility: Designed for use alongside X-ray film processing systems and film viewers/illuminators in industrial darkrooms.

FAQ:

What is the function of a densitometer in NDT?

A densitometer is used to measure the optical density (darkness) of an area on a processed industrial X-ray film, which is a critical measure for exposure quality and compliance with standards.

What does the “Digital” feature provide?

It means the measurement is displayed as a precise numerical value on a digital screen.
