Tungsten Industrial Radiation Shielding

We are offering tungsten industrial radiation shielding. Tungsten shielding is used in research activities as collimators (devices which guide or focus beams of radiation) or containers for radioactive isotopes. Nuclear research use nuclear reactors or cyclotrons to study or create radioactive materials. Tungsten alloy radiation shielding is ideal for radiation protection for both x-ray and gamma-ray. High density of it is more than 60% denser than lead, which allows a reduction in the physical size of shielding components without compromising its shielding ability.
Tungsten alloy radiation shielding is usually used in the following applications:
non destructive testing (ndt) tungsten radiation shielding
ndt methods may rely upon use of electromagnetic radiation, sound, and inherent properties of materials to examine samples, which includes some kinds of microscopy to examine external surfaces in detail. Although sample preparation techniques for metallographic, optical microscopy and electron microscopy are generally destructive as the surfaces must be made smooth through polishing or the sample must be electron transparent in thickness. The inside of a sample can be examined with penetrating electromagnetic radiation, such as x-rays or 3d x-rays for volumetric inspection. Tungsten alloy radiation shielding could be used for radiation protection from the harm radiation.
Geological well logging
pipe-line inspection
radiation is used to inspect welds and detect cracks in pipelines. A gamma source is mounted on a remote-controlled wheeled trolley (sometimes called a "pig") and travels inside the length of the pipe. A tungsten collimator is used to direct the radiation onto the target, whilst the radioactive source is housed inside tungsten shielding.
