Mitech XXHA-1605 Inflatable X-Ray Flaw Detector

High-Performance Portable Radiographic Testing Solution

The Mitech XXHA-1605 is a compact inflatable X-ray flaw detector designed for accurate and efficient non-destructive testing (NDT) in a wide range of industrial environments. By utilizing the principle of differential X-ray absorption through materials of varying thickness and density, this device provides detailed imaging of internal defects such as cracks, voids, and inclusions.

Its lightweight structure, ease of use, and strong environmental adaptability make it particularly well-suited for field inspections, including remote and high-altitude applications. With reliable imaging quality and robust safety features, the XXHA-1605 ensures high performance even in demanding testing conditions.

Key Features

• microcomputer-controlled operation for precise settings and reliable performance

• compact and lightweight for portability in harsh environments

• automatic overtemperature protection to safeguard the X-ray tube

• stable output with adjustable mA and kV settings to suit different materials

• variable tube voltage control for flexibility across various inspection tasks

• anti-interference circuitry to reduce signal noise and maintain image clarity

• digital fault diagnostics including error codes for quick troubleshooting

• delayed high-voltage activation to allow safe operator positioning

• isolated high-voltage system for improved operational safety

• compatible with unstable or generator-based power supplies for field use

Applications

The XXHA-1605 is ideal for internal flaw detection in the following industries:

• shipbuilding and marine engineering

• aerospace and aviation component inspections

• railway and transportation infrastructure

• pressure vessel and boiler testing

• oil, gas, and chemical plant inspections

• machinery and heavy equipment manufacturing

• military and defense-related material inspection

Its ability to operate under difficult conditions makes it a preferred tool for mobile radiography teams.

Working Principle

The detector emits X-rays by accelerating electrons in a vacuum tube using high-voltage direct current generated by a silicon-controlled rectifier and pulse transformer. When these electrons hit a metal target, X-rays are produced and directed through the object under inspection.

As the X-rays pass through the material, varying absorption levels create contrasts on a specially prepared film. These contrasts form a radiographic image that highlights internal flaws such as voids or cracks. The film, enhanced with a lead foil intensifying screen, is developed to reveal defect size, position, and nature for precise evaluation.

Safety Guidelines

• use radiation shielding such as a 2 mm lead plate or maintain a 20-meter exclusion zone

• ensure proper grounding of the control unit and high-voltage components

• monitor internal air pressure to stay within safe operating range

• allow the cooling system to complete its cycle before shutting down

• voltage fluctuations may activate protection circuits, which is a normal safety function

• to cancel delay: restart the device or press “HV ON” when “00” is displayed
