DÜRR NDT has unveiled its latest addition to its catalog of non-destructive testing solutions: the D-DR 2430 NDT. This new digital X-ray detector is specifically designed for industrial applications that require inspection with isotopes and gamma sources, such as critical welds and pipe analysis.
X-ray detector with high performance in demanding inspections
With an active area of 233 x 291 mm, the device offers a medium-sized format that makes it versatile for multiple field configurations. Its GOS Plus scintillator, developed with thicker gadolinium oxysulfide, significantly increases sensitivity to high-energy radiation, which improves image quality in gamma source environments.
On the other hand, the basic spatial resolution reaches 130 µm, thanks to a pixel pitch of 76 µm. This capability makes it an ideal tool for tasks that require precision in the detection of discontinuities, such as weld inspections or detailed evaluation of wall profiles in metal components.
Ruggedness and reliability for adverse conditions
In terms of resistance, the D-DR 2430 NDT is IP67-certified, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh conditions.
Internal shielding protects sensitive circuitry from prolonged exposure to radiation, while the rugged design withstands drops of up to one meter.
Connectivity and intelligent digital analysis
The device can be operated via Wi-Fi with a rechargeable battery or via a Gigabit Ethernet connection. It also features visible status indicators on the device itself, facilitating real-time monitoring of connectivity and power.
The detector is compatible with the D-Tect X software used in all DÜRR NDT digital systems. This platform includes tools such as X-Filter, which automatically optimizes captured images, and additional modules for wall thickness analysis, allowing the generation of exportable technical reports.
