STRUCTURIX Films – Advantages

The STRUCTURIX film family has two key advantages of great importance
in non-destructive testing – image quality and consistent rugged
behavior. Both result from Agfa’s advanced emulsion technology and
ultramodern high-tech coating processes.

Optimum Image Quality Protective Coating Consistent Production Quality

All STRUCTURIX films benefit from an
Agfa emulsion breakthrough that
provides increased contrast and maxi-
mum detail perceptibility. In fact, it
results in the highest intrinsic defect
recognition for each speed range.
Even the smallest details can be inter-
preted with ease. The finished X-ray
film has a high quality with a brilliant
surface, and the image has a pleasant
blue tint.
5 ment.
An important feature of the STRUCTURIX
films is a special protective top coating
resulting directly from Agfa’s Split
Antistress Layer (SAL) technology. This
top coat gives the films unique high
resistance to pressure, scratching and
creasing.
Another advantage of the top coat is
that surface roughness has been opti-
mized for problem free processing in
automatic feeders such as the FEEDER.
STRUCTURIX films are manufactured in
large quantities. To ensure they meet
the most rigorous worldwide quality
standards, they are produced at a single
facility under tightly controlled condi-
tions in an ultramodern coating room.
Agfa’s Total Quality Management
approach, certified by the ISO9001-2015
label, is the foundation of the system
leading to this exceptional performance
in production consistency. People, pro-
duction equipment, and organization
all become one system, geared to
consistency and continuous improve-

Image Quality and Film System Classifications

Every application and every object require a specific class
of industrial radiographic film or film system class which
includes complementary film and film processing.
A New Film System Classification
The introduction of the Industrial Film Systems Classification
Standards ASTM E-1815, ISO 11699-1 and JIS-K7627 provides
an important means to assign film systems to the appro-
priate film system class.
These standards identify the various types of industrial
X-ray film systems and classify them based on objectively
quantified parameters that are the foundation of film
imaging performance.
The standards for control of film processing and ISO 11699-2
provide the means to control the processing at the processor
user level. The objective is to make sure that a classified
system will produce the expected capabilities in daily use.
As a result of being able to objectively determine the
performance of a specific Film System (Film + Chemistry +
Processing), film radiography remains the number one and
most widely used NDT technique.
The classification system classifies a film inclusive of
film processing (type and chemicals). This illustrates the
importance of processing in relation to imaging.
The parameters are:
G2 (contrast) Net density: D = 2
G4 (contrast) Net density: D = 4
D (noise) Net density: D = 2
G/σD Net density: D = 2
These parameters are selected based on the insight into
imaging theory applied to the industrial X-ray film systems.
G is a measure of the signal gain factor and σD indicates
the noise, so that G/σd represents the signal /noise ratio.
In the context of growing quality awareness, the new per-
ception of film system classification, described in ASTM 1815,
ISO 11699 and JIS-K7627, gradually became norm for the
industry.

Intensifying Screens

The STRUCTURIX range offers two intensifying screens:

the RCF fluorometallic screen and the high speed 1200
fluorescent screen.

Advantages The blue emitting STRUCTURIX 1200 fluorescent screen has

The STRUCTURIX RCF fluorometallic and fluorescent 1200
screens, based on the conventional phosphor material
calcium tungsten (CaWO4), diminish radiation exposure
and/or the necessary level of radiation energy. They enable
the radiographic penetration of thick objects.
A more productive and effective testing method, the
STRUCTURIX RCF and 1200 screens reduce the exposure
equipment load. The flexible screens enable radiography
of curved objects.
an extremely high absorption and conversion efficiency,
together with acceptable detail perceptibility. Combined
with a STRUCTURIX F8 or even a F6 film, this film-screen
system becomes convenient for high-energy applications,
such as the non-destructive testing of heavy construction
and the examination of large concrete structures (bridges
and buildings). The STRUCTURIX 1200 screen can also be a
solution for flash radiography in which exposure times are
extremely short and for microfocus-enlargement techniques
in which radiation doses are very low.

Electron-Beam-Cured (EBC) protective coating and the
polyester support make the screen particularly durable.
One of the most important applications of the STRUCTURIX
RCF screens lies in the inspection of offshore pipelines.
Combining the screen sensitivity and rapid processing
of the STRUCTURIX F6 film provides an ideal film-screen
system. In the on-stream as well, the use of the RCF-screen,
in combination with the F8 film, leads to considerable time
savings.

STRUCTURIX Intensifying Screens

Relative exposure factor

When making exposures with
fluorescent screens, it is important
to understand the potential impact
of variables such as temperature,
exposure energy and exposure time:
• Intensifying screens fluoresce
more brilliantly at low temperature.
Therefore, the screen efficiency will
drop with increasing temperature
• With increasing energy, the
absorption of fluorescent screens
is reduced and, as a result, the
intensifying effect is diminished
• Due to the “reciprocity effect” with
fluorescent screen systems, the gain
in exposure time compared to lead
screen systems, diminishes with
increasing exposure length

Optimal Storage of STRUCTURIX Films
Handling and storage of X-ray film is an important aspect of
the radiographical process. Guidelines are given in several
international standards, i.e., ASTM E1254-97. Following are
the recommendations for unexposed X-ray film.
First, storage facilities for unexposed X-ray films should
provide adequate protection from any penetrating radiation.
If the films are stored for longer than three months, back-
ground radiation may not exceed 90 nGy/h (18 x 10-10 C/
Kg/h). Films in containers sealed by the manufacturer
should be stored with the films on edge, whenever possible.
Storage temperature should be between 4.4°C and 23.8°C
at a relative humidity range of 30 to 60 percent.
As higher temperatures accelerate certain physicochemical
processes in the emulsion, STRUCTURIX films should always
be stored in a cool place (within the above mentioned
temperature range).
While films in opened packages are also affected by humidity,
it is advisable to ensure that the relative humidity in the
storage room remains under 60 percent. It is also ecommen-
ded that the films are not stored in the immediate vicinity
of X-ray chemicals.
If STRUCTURIX films are handled and stored in accordance
with the directions noted above, we guarante their good
quality at least until the expiration date on the box.
27
STRUCTURIX Processing
Equipment
Our systems approach means your film processing options are fully
compatible with STRUCTURIX chemicals and equipment.
After being X-rayed, each radiographic film needs to be
processed before examining the film results. Depending
on the place, situation and application, processing of
the industrial X-rays films is carried out by manual or
automatic processing. Waygate Technologies provides
the full STRUCTURIX Film Systems product line.
Thus, complete solutions are available to choose the
best way of processing your films in combination with
STRUCTURIX chemicals and equipment. All are perfectly
suited to one another.
Automatic Film Processing Equipment
Waygate Technologies' processing equipment is
renowned for its unwavering reliability and robust design.
All STRUCTURIX film processors feature:
Perfect processing quality
The design of STRUCTURIX processors is based on several
decades of experience and know-how in dedicated
industrial X-ray film processor design and construction.
This, together with the use of state-of-the-art technology,
explains why we can guarantee high quality film
processing.
28
Minimum processing costs
The precise control of replenishment ensures accurate
chemistry consumption. A very minimum volume of
water (as little as 13 l/m2 with our ECO processors) is used
during processing, creating a low ecological impact. The
consumption of electricity is also low, due to the infrared
drying system and other design elements such as the
automatic switch to standby.
Low heat emission
All Waygate Technologies processors feature infrared drying,
which not only guarantees uniform drying of films, but also
reduces the energy consumption and helps keep darkroom
temperatures down. As such, a comfortable working tem-
perature in the darkroom is more easily maintained.
Adjustable film receiving tray
The film receiving tray of all Waygate Technologies' pro-
cessors can easily be adjusted to suit the kind of film size
being processed, i.e., sheet film, welding formats or roll film.
Processed films collect in the tray in the order of the film
being inserted.
In addition, our equipment is designed to meet all required
safety regulations and are EMC compliant. All film proces-
sors are supplied with the CE, TUV GS and NRTL label as well
as the CE Declaration of Conformity and are manufactured
to ISO 9001 standards. These designations are continued
proof of our commitment to quality and reliability.
Revolutionary ‘ECO’ or Cascade Fixing Processing Technology
The STRUCTURIX S ECO and M ECO are the future of
ecologically responsible processing. These processing
machines are designed to meet the strictest standards
for silver content in wash water. Thanks to the unique
cascade fixing system, the amount of silver in the wash
water is 15 to 25 times lower than in a conventional
processing system.
Cascade fixing
The ‘ECO’ or cascade fixing system is an entirely new
concept for processing X-ray films. The STRUCTURIX S ECO
and M ECO processors are built with two successive fixing
tanks replenished on the counter flow principle.
The result is nothing less than revolutionary in terms of
the amount of silver in the wash water. The cascade fixing
principle is very simple: the exposed film is first developed
in the developer tank, then washed in the intermediate
wash tank.

IW Intermediate wash tank
F1 Fixer tank 1
F2 Fixer tank 2
W Final wash tank
1 Overflow F1
2 Transfer of residues
3 Link between F1 and F2
in the direction of F1
The intermediate washing system ensures that there is
hardly any carry-over of developer into the fixing tanks,
thus keeping the fixer bath in optimal condition. The inter-
mediate washing also prevents development faults
occurring on the film. The film is then 100 percent fixed
in the first fixer tank and rinsed in the second fixer tank.
Since fixer replenishment is carried out in the second fixer
tank, the concentration of silver in this tank remains very
low. There is also very little carry-over of silver into the
water tank, so that the waste water complies with the most
stringent standards. Fixer replenishment works on the
counter flow principle, with the first fixer tank being reple-
nished from the overflow of the second fixer tank. An added
advantage of this is that nearly all of the silver released in
the fixing stage ends up in the overflow from the first fixing
tank. This ensures optimum silver recovery.
The “cascade fixing” system ensures that the amount of
silver in the wash water remains within the limit of <50 mg/m2.
With the STRUCTURIX S ECO and M ECO, ecology goes hand
in hand with economy.

STRUCTURIX S ECO

In addition to the unique advantages of the ‘ECO’ pro-

cessing technology, the STRUCTURIX S ECO guarantees
several other features. These include a large capacity,
superior image quality, precise replenishment and
minimum processing costs.

Large capacity
STRUCTURIX SECO can be set to either a 5 or an 8 minute
cycle. In both cases, the throughput of the SECO is sufficient
to meet the needs of large film users or companies with
high production peaks. When set to the 5 minute cycle, the
STRUCTURIX S ECO processes no less than 51 cm of film per
minute or 78 films per hour of 35 x 43 cm. In this 5 minute
cycle, the processor forms the basis for the “ECO Film
System”. In such a system, the STRUCTURIX film, chemistry
and processor are all carefully matched to ensure the best
possible ECOlogical results in terms of silver in the wash
water while ensuring the lowest chemistry consumption Anti-crystallization cycle

STRUCTURIX M ECO
Compact and ecological

The STRUCTURIX M ECO is the most compact processor of

the STRUCTURIX Eco Film Systems, suited to applications
that demand the highest image quality while being
ecologically responsible. The secret lies in the double
fixing tank, the cascade fixing system - a unique concept
in the tabletop processors range.
The ease of use and the problemfree maintenance make
the STRUCTURIX M ECO an extremely user-friendly and
reliable processor. It has been designed for consumers of
small and medium quantity of film.

ECOlogical Design
The STRUCTURIX M ECO lives up to expectations
ecologically with:
• Revolutionary cascade fixing system which reduces the
amount of silver in the waste water by a factor of 5 to 10.
• Reduction of fixer replenishment if the
STRUCTURIX ecoFix is used.
• Economical water and electricity consumption.
• Infrared drying reducing the amount of heat produced
in the darkroom to a minimum.
• Optimal replenishment system as a result
of film surface scanning.
• Intermediate washing which ensures that there is hardly
any carry-over of developer, keeping the fixer bath in
optimum condition. This system also prevents
development faults occuring on the film.
• Design for Recycling
Extra attention has been given to the selection of the
materials in order to improve the recyclability. Materials
or components which can disrupt the recycling process
are easy removable. A Recycling-Passport (RP) and
Equipment Information Sheet (EIS) are available.
Exact Replenishment
The surface area of the film is measured accurately on
entry by 5 detector rollers. This unique film area scanning
ensures a precise economic, ecologic replenishment
operation and reduced replenishment rates.
32
Minimal Running Costs
The accurate replenishment, as described above, implies
low chemical consumption. In addition, during film
processing only an ecologically justified volume of water is
used and the consumption of electricity is particularly low
due to the infrared drying system.

STRUCTURIX FEEDER
Automatic Film Feeding Daylight System

Compact and time saving, the STRUCTURIX FEEDER
converts the processors S ECO and U into a unique and
practical daylight system. With the STRUCTURIX FEEDER,
you can save time and expense in the darkroom.
At the press of a button, you can feed up to 240 films
an hour automatically!
Complete daylight system
The STRUCTURIX FEEDER acts as a perfect miniature darkroom,
so that all further activities can take place in daylight, while
automatically feeding film into the processor.
Reliable
When the feeder is switched to “on”, it carries out a self-
diagnosis. While in operation, built-in electronic checking
functions guarantee high reliability. In this way, for example, a
double film is detected, returned and fed in again separately,
without intervention from the user.

Simple installation
Thanks to the easy detachable film feeding tables of the
STRUCTURIX processors and the simple mounting system
of the feeder, the processors S ECO and U are quickly and
easily converted.

Multiple film sizes

Grouped per size and per project or work piece, our films
can be loaded easily in any darkroom. All film sizes from 6
to 43 cm wide and from 12 to 48 cm long can be accommo-
dated. The handy film magazine, in which up to four film
lanes can be set up, makes the STRUCTURIX FEEDER ideal
for processing films of welds. Up to 240 films per magazine
(four times 60 films/lane max.) can be loaded!

STRUCTURIX MIXER
Timesaving and Standardized Chemical Mixing

The STRUCTURIX MIXER is a fully independent unit that
relieves you of mixing chemicals. To use the STRUCTURIX
MIXER, simply place the bottles on top of the mixer. The
rest occurs automatically to save you time.
Compact and solid
The compact design of the STRUCTURIX MIXER means it
requires very little space. The materials used in construction
of the mixer have been chosen for greater strength and
enhanced resistance to chemicals.

Reliable and user-friendly

With the STRUCTURIX MIXER, you can count on your chemistry
being mixed in a consistent manner, time after time. The mixer
provides both an audible and visible signal when the next
chemicals should be prepared. You never come in contact
with the chemicals, thanks to the bottles of concentrate
having a safety seal which is only pierced when the bottles
are set in position on the mixing machine.
The STRUCTURIX MIXER has a handy pumping system for
transferring the chemicals from the mixer into the processor,
for example, to refill the processor after maintenance. The
STRUCTURIX MIXER connects easily to your processor reple-
nishment system in order to act as a replenishment tank.

Easy to clean
The templates are easy to clean with water. When the bottles
of concentrate are emptied, two covers can be used to
close the tanks. In brief, the STRUCTURIX MIXER is a reliable
and simple mixing unit that ensures optimal mixing of the
developer and fixer solutions. It is a valuable acquisition for
anyone seeking consistent, high-quality film processing
results.

STRUCTURIX
Quality Assurance Tools

Standard for control of film processing by means

of reference values.
To assist our customers in making sure the film systems
render the expected capability in daily use, we refer to the
standards for radiographic examination. EN444, ISO 5579,
ASTM E94 and others specify that the user has to process
the films in accordance with the conditions recommended
by the manufacturer and pay special attention to monitor
and control developing, fixing and washing.
ASTM E94 states: “To produce a satisfactory radiograph,
the care used in making the exposure must be followed by
equal care in processing. The most careful radiographic
techniques can be nullified by incorrect or improper
darkroom procedures.”
Therefore ISO 11699 consists of two parts. ISO 11699-2 describes
how the user should control his or her processing system.
For instance, to guarantee the designed film system’s
performance, calibrated pre-exposed strips provided by the
film manufacturer must be used.
We designed the STRUCTURIX Quality Assurance Tools, a set
of practical, dedicated tools for the radiographer to control
and prove compliance of his or her entire system.
