See through centimeters of aluminum with our SCF300 medium-energy-level system
The 300 system is ideal for research involving both shadow imaging and penetrating materials like ceramics, aluminum or centimeters of steel.
300 kilovolt systems have also been used to study shock wave phenomena in single crystals with diffraction, and you can use this system both indoors and outdoors.
An adjustable medium-energy-level system to match your needs
Each Scandiflash system offers the option to fine tune the energy output level to match your needs within a specified range. The 300 is our medium-energy-level system.
The 300 generates a broad band energy spectrum with a maximum intensity located at an energy about 1/3 of the maximum energy output. Since we’re able to vary the maximum energy output between 100 and 300 keV, that means we can fine tune our energy maxima to be in the order of 33 to 100 keV. And that’s ideal for capturing X-ray images of objects contained in aluminum, for example.
Trigger certainty
When tuning the energy of your system the pressure of the Marx generator Pulser also needs to be regulated to prevent un-wanted discharge events. Users of Scandiflash Flash X-ray systems don’t worry about “pre-fire” or “no trigger” errors.
We’ve accomplished this by designing our systems to automatically set the correct pressure required for a selected voltage in our Marx Generator Pulsers. No complicated tabulation and testing of parameters – simply select the voltage desired, and our system optimizes for each X-ray pulse. Experiments can be completed more reliably and stay on schedule!
Real-world flexibility that impacts the bottom line
Because we’ve designed our systems to be modular, the 300 system is capable of being converted to either a 450 or even a 450S system. You can convert your system to match changing research requirements. And that kind of option gives real security and investment flexibility for your research.
Standards your research can rely on
The system is CE marked and includes safety features like overpressure valves and pressure readers. In addition to training and installation, we also offer optional equipment like X-ray shielding and emergency shut-offs.
The SCF300 system has 6 core components:
– PG300 Marx generator pulser
– XT300 X-ray tube
– control tower
– Scandicontrol software
– RPS 30 service station
– CAD 70 for pressure regulation which uses compressed dry air rather than hazardous SF6
Varying cable lengths allow for maximum setup flexibility
