Radiation Imaging Facilities for Non Destructive Evaluation
Radiography Facilities established at DLJ comprise of Film & Digital Flat Panel Detector based Radiation Imaging capabilities utilizing X-ray, Gamma Ray & Neutron based Sources for Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE). X Ray Sources of upto 250 KVP, Gamma Ray Sources of Co-60, Ir-192 & Cs-137 and Neutron Sources of Cf-252 are available for investigations and provides complete spectrum of Radiography applications right from X-rays for lower thicknesses to Gamma Rays for higher thicknesses and neutrons for hydrogenous materials in metallic shields.
Gamma Ray based Computed Tomography Facility
Computed Tomography (CT) is an advanced Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) technique which provides complete cross-sectional details of any scanned object. DLJ has established indigenously developed Technology based on Gamma Ray Transmission based Attenuation Measurements using Non Contact & Non Invasive Technique. The facility has capability to penetrate thick metallic assemblies & subsystems and provides complete internal structure visualization and exact details in 2D & 3D, irrespective of complexities in systems & assemblies.
Radiation Test & Calibration Facility
Semi-automatic gamma radiation test & calibration facility have been designed, developed and commissioned at Defence Laboratory Jodhpur (DLJ). The facility comprises of medium and high dose rate range setup using 30 Ci Cobalt-60 source in a portable remotely operated Techops camera and a 15000 Ci Co-60 source in a Tele-therapy machine. The radiation instruments can be positioned at any desired position using a computer controlled positioned. User friendly software helps in positioning the Device Under Test (DUT) at any desired dose rate or distance and acquire the data automatically. The test and calibration of radiation monitors is done as per ISO17025 and the Facilities and procedures are accredited by NABL.
Accelerated/Simulated Desert Environment Testing Facility
Extreme hot desert climate may severely affect the performance, reliability and life of Defence systems, this may lead to failure of mission critical components. An Accelerated Desert Environmental Test facility has been established to study long term and short term effects of extreme desert climate on Defence systems under simulated conditions. As part of this facility the Solar Radiation Chamber and Blowing Dust chamber have been installed, commissioned and operationalized complying to MIL Standards.
