140 J, 225 kV, 6kA FLASH X-RAY GENERATOR

140J, 225kV, 6kA, Flash X-ray generator is used for radiography of different materials to detect any defect. FXR generator consists of 225kV, 6kA, 15 stages Marx Generator generating pulse of duration 150ns and rise time of 50ns using Folded Pulse Forming Line that has been developed indigenously. It utilizes FPFL based high voltage Max generator and cold cathode, two-electrode vacuum tube to generate short and intense bursts of hard X-ray. The radiation intensity produced by an accelerated beam of paraxial electrons varies over a wide voltage range.

SALIENT FEATURES

• It is an attractive scheme to generate power source for high power pulsed electron beam.
• It has higher power output, compactness, reliable & low cost over conventional Marx generator.
• FXR provides precision, reproducibility with minimum human error.

APPLICATION

• FXR can be used for radiography of different metallic samples.
• Transient chemical reactions of various materials, sub-microseconds photo chemistry and flash radiography.
• Study of material properties of commonly used targets such as iron, cobalt, nickel, zirconium and molybdenum by measuring their dose response for different dosimeter positions.
