Overview Concept

• It is essential to understand that the Lo-rad
  system is simply an addition to existing
  radiographic equipment and techniques
• The Concept is to collimate the radiation beam
  towards an area of interest. The area of interest
  is then enclosed with the Lo-Rad Mazel mats. This
  enclosed system eliminates all unwanted radiation
  and scatter from the primary beam.
• The Lo-Rad system when used in conjunction with a
  Selenium 75 will reduce safe working distance
  If used correctly, the system will allow you a
  1-3 meter barricade and still give you an
  acceptable reading 7.5 uSv/h
• The clear benefit for your client is a decrease
  in loss of production and down time. Due to the
  small barricading areas required, the system
  allows you to carry out radiography continuously
  for a 24 hour period

How will Lo-Rad benefit you?

• Lo-Rad system and technique will assist you in
  achieving earlier start up of plants
• Lo-Rad system will also allow you to meet demands
  and deadlines of shut downs
• With the Lo-Rad system NO production is lost
  due to radiography
• Lo-rad system will eliminate the need to evacuate
  personnel
• Lo-Rad system will highlight overhead cost
  savings due to NO none productive wages being
  paid
• Using the Lo-Rad system you will NO longer need
  to plan and manage windows for radiography shifts

Lo-Rad Features

• Lo-Rad is a flexible system which fits any shape
  and size of steel or pipe work.
• Lo-Rad operates efficiently under varying
  temperature conditions
• -50 to 120 Degrees Celsius
• Lo-Rad system is easily attached to any specimen
  due to the patented self adhesive envelopes
• Lo-Rad system allows you to use your existing and
  standard radiographic equipment, Techops 660,
  880 Gammamat TI, TIF etc
• NO new techniques!
• NO new equipment!

• The system is easily transported on site. With
  the interior foam cut outs, it is designed to
  protect the system and your investment. The unit
  is waterproof and has castor wheels for
  maneuverability and storing.

Step by Step
Step 5 Expose Weld
Step 1 Attach Guide Tube to Isotope/Container
Step 3 Attach collimator to weld or specimen
Step 2 Insert Isotope/Container into Flash Box
Step 4 Enclose collimator and weld with Mazel Mats

Source Se75 (Not supplied with system)

• Se75 has a more softer gamma ray spectrum than
  Ir192
• Se75 has a significantly longer half life than
  Ir192
• Se75 will give you better contrast and improved
  sensitivity over Ir192
• Se75 works at optimal working range of 5-30mm FE
• Se75 has real performance benefits when used with
  Lo-Rad system providing better radiographic
  quality
• Typically at least 1 additional IQI wire is seen
  on radiograph

13
Barrier Distances Demarcated Areas

• Traditionally while using Ir192 and no shielding,
  large areas have to be cordoned off, up to 80
  meters
• With the LO-Rad system Se75 only 1 to 3 meters
  is required to be Demarcated and cordoned off
• With the correct Lo-Rad procedure used. At a
  distance of 1 to 3 meters a reading of 7.5 uSv
  can be expected

14
