Sample CUI Video

Portable Video X-ray designed for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) surveys

Incorporates a highly sensitive x-ray imager and battery-powered x-ray tube. 

Moving the imager around a object provides a three dimensional perspective, allowing the operator to scan a range of object sizes much more quickly and with more detail than any previously available x-ray system.   A color video camera is provided to show the area of x-ray view.

Images are presented on a high-resolution 7” LCD display or on a heads-up display mounted to a hard hat.  A digital video recorder with LCD display provides an optional viewing station and also provides storage of inspection images in digital video format on a 30GB hard drive and SD cards.

Hundreds of hours of proven track record in rugged industrial environments including the North Slope of Alaska.

Typical accumulated dose to the operator = 20 to 65mr per month reported, 100mr per 7 days is the allowable limit
