Flash X-Ray Systems: 150 kV–2300 kV Radiography

These systems include 150kV, 300kV, 450kV, and 1.2MV pulsers. The X-ray tube can be mounted in the pulser or in a remote or demountable head. All control systems come in a standard 19 in. rackmount console. The X-ray pulse width (FWHM) is 70ns for 150kV pulsers, and 25ns for the 300kV, 450kV, and 1.2MV pulsers.

The advantage of X-ray tubes is that they are easily replaceable and are offered in multiple spot sizes for increasing resolution to meet customer needs (1mm – 5mm). Both soft and hard X-ray tubes are available. User configurable, pump down heads are also available.

The Flash X-ray system uses standard X-ray film cassettes and phosphorus screens. The ScanX HC (laser spot = 50µm) and ScanX HR (laser spot =14µm) scanners can scan a 14 in. x 17 in. screen in under one minute. The scanners work with Fisica proprietaryPixelRay® digital imaging software. These events vary with target material density, penetration requirements, and source to detector distances.

Type of Study	Flash X-Ray System Used	Data Generated
Internal ballistics (projectile in-bore)	High voltageTube in pulser	Integrity of projectile and sabot velocity & acceleration
Intermediate ballistics (projectile exiting gun)	Medium voltage Remote tubeheads Severe protection problem	Sabot separation Deployment of fins Projectile integrity Velocity, spin, pitch
External ballistics	Low voltage (150kV–300kV)	Integrity Velocity, pitch, yaw Deceleration Arming of internal fuses
Terminal ballistics	High voltage Orthogonal view Remote tubeheads Severe protection problem	Impact Armor penetration Dispersion of fragments
