Waygate Technologies (was GE Inspection Technologies) has launched two portable X-ray direct radiography detectors.

Waygate-xray-detector-DXR75P

DXR75P-HR has a 7” x 9” detector with 75μm pixel resolution. It supports ISO 17636-2 class B for weld inspection.

DXR140P-HC is 14” x 17” with 140μm pixel resolution. It can be used with X-ray as well as isotopes, and is aimed at corrosion monitoring.

Both detectors can be operated either wired or wireless with a range of up to 100 meters, depending on the situational requirements. Protection is to IP65 and IP76.

Intended for mobile inspections of installations in harsh environments, each detector comes in a rugged casing with shielding layers that protect against drops and knocks, then further shielding layers on the detectors themselves improve protection against the harmful effects of radiation.

They operate with non-destructive testing acquisition and analysis platform Rhythm Insight RT, which offers a touch user interface for out-of-the-box scanning and image processing.

Processing automatically optimises digital radiography for image quality.

TheDXR detectors are among the first products the company is launching under its new Waygate Technologies brand, having changed its name in February after former parent company GE reduced its majority share in Baker Hughes in 2019. Waygate is now part of Baker Hughes’ Digital Solutions segment.
