What is BS EN 13068-2 - Long term stability of imaging devices about?
BS EN 13068-2 is a standard that covers the long term stability of imaging devices, ensuring the operational safety and durability of imaging devices in industrial testing applications.
BS EN 13068-2 gives guidance on the on-site check of equipment for radioscopy where the image is presented on a display unit including image processing. The radiation sources used can be X-rays or gamma rays.
BS EN 13068-2 establishes rules for testing a radioscopic system to assure a constant level of inspection quality.
BS EN 13068-2 tests should be easily performable by the operators of the system. They are based on an input signal from defined image quality indicators. The measurement of the systems response should be performed with the same equipment which is in this particular installation.
BS EN 13068-2 is applicable to installations with an image processing computer as well as to simple display units.
Who is BS EN 13068-2 - Long term stability of imaging devices for?
BS EN 13068-2 on long term stability of imaging devices applies to:
- Manufacturer of imaging devices
- NDT testing services
- Radioscopic testing services
- Quality assurance services
- Testing personnel and auditors
Why should you use BS EN 13068-2 - Long term stability of imaging devices?
Radioscopy is used for online examination and process control. Because radioscopic systems allow for adjustable settings of the incident beam direction and inspection perspective, as well as online viewing of the radioscopic image, they are used in industrial applications for continuous object inspection.
BS EN 13068-2 provides users guidance on image quality control by image quality indicators, including general requirements, experimental procedure, measurement procedures, contrast sensitivity and more, ensuring accuracy in image processing for determining irregularities.
BS EN 13068-2 provides users guidance on comparison with natural defects, image quality by image quality indicators, identification of equipment faults, and documentation, ensuring the long term stability and operability of imaging devices.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 13068-2, users can assess imaging devices, ensuring their quality, performance, and longevity in industrial testing applications.
