Mitech XXG2005 Inflatable X-ray Flaw Detector

High-Performance Portable X-ray System for Internal Defect Detection

The Mitech XXG2005 Inflatable X-ray Flaw Detector is a versatile, portable non-destructive testing (NDT) device designed for the inspection of internal flaws in metal components, welds, and various industrial materials. By employing differential X-ray absorption, the system provides high-resolution images that reveal cracks, inclusions, and voids, making it an essential tool for quality control and maintenance in critical infrastructure.

Its lightweight, inflatable tube design and microcomputer-controlled interface make it particularly suitable for demanding field environments, including construction sites, elevated locations, and confined spaces.

Key Features

• Portable and inflatable structure designed for field and remote inspections

• Microprocessor control for accurate operation and simple user interface

• Automatic over-temperature shutdown to protect the X-ray tube

• Stable output with independent adjustment of mA and kV parameters

• Built-in anti-interference circuitry for safe and reliable operation

• Real-time error display for quick diagnostics and troubleshooting

• Delayed exposure function to allow the operator to vacate the hazard zone

• Isolated circuitry for enhanced electrical safety

• Compatible with fluctuating power supplies in rugged environments

Applications

• Shipbuilding and marine structures

• Aerospace and aircraft component testing

• Railway construction and rolling stock maintenance

• Pressure vessel and boiler inspections

• Oil and gas pipeline integrity assessment

• Chemical and petrochemical processing plants

• Structural and heavy machinery fabrication

• Military and defense equipment inspections

This model is particularly effective in mobile or high-altitude scenarios where traditional flaw detection equipment may be difficult to use.

Working Principle

The XXG2005 generates high-voltage X-rays that penetrate the material under test. When the X-rays pass through the object, they are absorbed at different rates depending on the material’s thickness and density. The resulting radiation is captured on a special film, producing an image that highlights internal inconsistencies. The unit uses a silicon-controlled rectifier and pulse transformer to produce stable high-voltage pulses required for X-ray generation.

• Control interface: Digital with exposure timer, kV adjustment, and status indicators

• Cooling: Automatic fan cycle after exposure to protect internal components

Operation Guide

• Power on the unit to initialize the control system and ventilation

• Set the desired exposure time and kV level depending on material properties

• Perform tube preheating to stabilize internal vacuum

• Press the “HV” key to begin exposure; system will auto-count the set time

• If needed, hold “HV” for 3 seconds to enable delay start (0.1–5 minutes)

• Allow the system to enter rest mode for cooling after exposure

Safety Guidelines

• Use shielding such as 2 mm lead plates or maintain a 20-meter exclusion zone

• Regularly monitor air pressure; do not use below 0.35 MPa

• Ensure grounding of the control unit to avoid electrical hazards

• Do not interrupt power during post-exposure cooldown cycles

• Always use recommended X-ray film and lead foil screens for optimal results

The Mitech XXG2005 combines high accuracy, reliable imaging, and field-ready durability—making it a preferred choice for industrial X-ray flaw detection.
