Mitech XXGHA-2005 Inflatable X-Ray Flaw Detector

Portable Radiographic Testing Solution for Field Applications

The Mitech XXGHA-2005 is a high-performance inflatable X-ray flaw detector engineered for precise non-destructive testing (NDT) across various industrial applications. Built on the principle of differential X-ray absorption, it reveals internal structural flaws such as cracks, inclusions, porosity, and weld defects. The unit is compact and lightweight, making it especially effective for on-site inspections in confined or harsh environments, including high-altitude locations and tight construction areas.

Equipped with intelligent microcomputer control, a robust protection system, and reliable high-voltage performance, the XXGHA-2005 is ideal for professionals who demand safety, efficiency, and accuracy in industrial radiographic inspection.

Key Features

• compact and lightweight design for easy field deployment

• microcomputer-controlled system for precise operation and diagnostics

• stable X-ray output with independent mA and kV control units

• automatic overheat protection to prevent tube damage

• anti-interference circuitry ensures imaging consistency and signal stability

• delayed high-voltage start function for improved operator safety

• strict 1:1 duty cycle (exposure/rest) to protect device integrity

• automatic fault display system for quick identification and maintenance response

• isolated high-voltage system separates power and control for added safety

• supports operation from portable generator units and fluctuating power grids

Applications

The XXGHA-2005 is suitable for various sectors requiring internal defect detection, including:

• shipbuilding and marine structures

• aerospace and aviation component testing

• railway system manufacturing and maintenance

• oil and gas pipeline inspections

• pressure vessel and boiler testing

• petrochemical and chemical industries

• national defense and military applications

• general machinery and metal fabrication

It is particularly useful in situations where conventional flaw detection equipment is impractical due to space or environmental constraints.

Working Principle

The detector operates by generating high-voltage X-rays that pass through the material under inspection. Differences in thickness and density cause variations in X-ray absorption, which are captured on special radiographic film. These contrasts on film allow technicians to detect and evaluate internal flaws.

The system uses a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) and a high-voltage pulse transformer to generate X-rays through a two-stage tube. The resulting images are developed and analyzed for defect type, location, and severity.
