Evaluating the shift from gamma to X-ray technology
March 11, 2025 | David Campos
Non-destructive testing (NDT) ensures safety and integrity in critical industries like oil, gas, and manufacturing. Gamma-ray inspection is valued for its portability and penetration power, especially in remote areas. Advances in portable X-ray technology, such as the Comet X-ray series, offer safer, more efficient alternatives with superior imaging quality.
Industrial inspection requires a balance between portability, accuracy, safety, and efficiency. While gamma-ray sources have traditionally been favored for their simplicity and reliability in challenging environments, X-ray systems have evolved to address modern demands for flexibility and safety. Each technology has its merits, and selecting the appropriate method depends on the specific inspection requirements and operational constraints. This document examines both options, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations.
