STRUCTURIX Films – Advantages

The STRUCTURIX film family has two key advantages of great importancein non-destructive testing – image quality and consistent rugged
behavior. Both result from Agfa’s advanced emulsion technology andultramodern high-tech coating processes.

Optimum Image Quality

Protective Coating

Consistent Production Quality

All STRUCTURIX films benefit from an
Agfa emulsion breakthrough thatprovides increased contrast and maximum detail perceptibility. In fact, it
results in the highest intrinsic defectrecognition for each speed range.
Even the smallest details can be interpreted with ease. The finished X-ray
film has a high quality with a brilliant
surface, and the image has a pleasant
blue tint.

An important feature of the STRUCTURIX
films is a special protective top coating
resulting directly from Agfa’s Split
Antistress Layer (SAL) technology. This
top coat gives the films unique highresistance to pressure, scratching andcreasing.

STRUCTURIX films are manufactured inlarge quantities. To ensure they meetthe most rigorous worldwide quality
standards, they are produced at a single
facility under tightly controlled conditions in an ultramodern coating room.

Another advantage of the top coat isthat surface roughness has been optimized for problem free processing in
automatic feeders such as the FEEDER.

Agfa’s Total Quality Management
approach, certified by the ISO9001-2015
label, is the foundation of the system
leading to this exceptional performancein production consistency. People, production equipment, and organization
all become one system, geared toconsistency and continuous improvement.
It’s what we call the “moving target”
quality philosophy. Moving target
means that to meet the increasingneeds of our customers, quality has tobe built into our products, not by additional testing, but by design. Agfa’s
emulsion technology, for example,
helps to provide a highly homogeneous
emulsion over the total coating area.
Not only do the STRUCTURIX films haveoutstanding quality, they also havean exceptionally high level of batch tobatch uniformity.

Contrast (signal) of all films is optimized toapproach the maximum contrast for a linear
detector (industrial X-ray Film), thereby
optimizing image quality and perceptibility.
An exception to the rule is D2, a super linear
detector, where image quality is optimized
through more than linear (extremely high)contrast in combination with very low noise.

9Image Quality and Film System Classifications

Every application and every object require a specific classof industrial radiographic film or film system class which
includes complementary film and film processing.
A New Film System Classification
The introduction of the Industrial Film Systems Classification
Standards ASTM E-1815, ISO 11699-1 and JIS-K7627 provides
an important means to assign film systems to the appropriate film system class.
These standards identify the various types of industrial
X-ray film systems and classify them based on objectively
quantified parameters that are the foundation of film
imaging performance.
The standards for control of film processing and ISO 11699-2
provide the means to control the processing at the processor
user level. The objective is to make sure that a classified
system will produce the expected capabilities in daily use.
As a result of being able to objectively determine theperformance of a specific Film System (Film + Chemistry +Processing), film radiography remains the number one andmost widely used NDT technique.
The classification system classifies a film inclusive offilm processing (type and chemicals). This illustrates theimportance of processing in relation to imaging.
The parameters are:
G2 (contrast) Net density: D = 2
G4 (contrast) Net density: D = 4
D (noise) Net density: D = 2
G/σD Net density: D = 2
These parameters are selected based on the insight into
imaging theory applied to the industrial X-ray film systems.
G is a measure of the signal gain factor and σD indicatesthe noise, so that G/σd represents the signal /noise ratio.
In the context of growing quality awareness, the new perception of film system classification, described in ASTM 1815,
ISO 11699 and JIS-K7627, gradually became norm for theindustry.

Special Applications

STRUCTURIX F6Manual processing can be used but
without the advantage of consistent
rapid processing. This should only be
used as an emergency solution.

Sensitometric curves with RCF

4.5

Density

As a result of further improvements in
its core business of radiographic film
for all applications, Agfa introduced
a better product for rapid accessradiography.
STRUCTURIX F6 is specially designed
for offshore pipelines or similar
applications. Such areas need short
exposure time through the useof fluorometalic screens and fast
processing cycles. This F6 film typeis mainly blue sensitive. All UV andblue-emitting screens can be used,
but for industrial use, fluorometallic
screens (cfr. STRUCTURIX RCF) basedon CaWO4 provide good quality.

Film System*D7 is considered not sensitive for fluorescent screens (no significant gain in exposure time)18

Designed as a high quality film forfluorometallic (RCF) screen exposure
when the speed obtainable with Pb
screen system is insufficient or radiation safety is of prime importance.

Relative exposure factor with fluorometallic screens depends on:• temperature• radiation energy• exposure timeSensitometric curves with RCF
fluorometallic screens ( 200 kV)

Sensitive to all UV and blue-emitting
screens. Calcium tungstate with leador lead oxide backing, so called fluorometallic screens (STRUCTURIX RCF
Screens), are most suited for industrial
applications.

When maximum speed is importantthe use of very fast screens such as the
STRUCTURIX 1200 screen can further
reduce the exposure time by a factor ofthree to six compared to RCF screens.
F8 is the ideal fast, high contrast, highdefinition film for fluorescent screen
applications. When higher sharpness
is required we advise the use of D8 with
Pb screens.

Density

STRUCTURIX F8

F8 with fluorescent screens is used
in a variety of heavy construction
applications, concrete, on stream
examination of processing piping
where X-ray energy has to be limited,flash radiography and microfocus
enlargement techniques.

STRUCTURIX
Intensifying Screens

The STRUCTURIX range offers two intensifying screens:the RCF fluorometallic screen and the high speed 1200
fluorescent screen.

Advantages

A more productive and effective testing method, the
STRUCTURIX RCF and 1200 screens reduce the exposure
equipment load. The flexible screens enable radiographyof curved objects.

The blue emitting STRUCTURIX 1200 fluorescent screen has
an extremely high absorption and conversion efficiency,
together with acceptable detail perceptibility. Combinedwith a STRUCTURIX F8 or even a F6 film, this film-screen
system becomes convenient for high-energy applications,such as the non-destructive testing of heavy construction
and the examination of large concrete structures (bridges
and buildings). The STRUCTURIX 1200 screen can also be asolution for flash radiography in which exposure times are
extremely short and for microfocus-enlargement techniques

Treatment of STRUCTURIX intensifying screens

When excited by X-rays or gamma-rays, the STRUCTURIXRCF fluorometallic screen becomes blue emitting. The screen
has an incorporated filter of lead oxide for scattered radiation. The emission spectrum is matched to the spectral
sensitivity of the STRUCTURIX F type films. The strong fluorescent RCF screen offers the ideal compromise between
detail perceptibility and working efficiency. The extra strong
Electron-Beam-Cured (EBC) protective coating and thepolyester support make the screen particularly durable.

The STRUCTURIX screens should be protected from moisture,heat and ultra-violet radiation. Dust and marks should be
removed from the screen immediately, using an approved
screen cleaner. In addition to cleaning the screen, theAgfa Screen Cleaner contains an anti-static element, which
prevents dirt and dust caused by static electricity fromadhering to the screen.

The STRUCTURIX RCF fluorometallic and fluorescent 1200
screens, based on the conventional phosphor material
calcium tungsten (CaWO4), diminish radiation exposure
and/or the necessary level of radiation energy. They enable
the radiographic penetration of thick objects.

One of the most important applications of the STRUCTURIXRCF screens lies in the inspection of offshore pipelines.
Combining the screen sensitivity and rapid processingof the STRUCTURIX F6 film provides an ideal film-screen
system. In the on-stream as well, the use of the RCF-screen,in combination with the F8 film, leads to considerable timesavings.

STRUCTURIX Intensifying Screens

Relative exposure factor
When making exposures withfluorescent screens, it is importantto understand the potential impact
of variables such as temperature,
exposure energy and exposure time:• With increasing energy, theabsorption of fluorescent screens
is reduced and, as a result, theintensifying effect is diminished• Due to the “reciprocity effect” withfluorescent screen systems, the gain
in exposure time compared to lead
screen systems, diminishes withincreasing exposure length• Intensifying screens fluoresce
more brilliantly at low temperature.
Therefore, the screen efficiency will
drop with increasing temperature

Optimal Storage of STRUCTURIX Films
Handling and storage of X-ray film is an important aspect of
the radiographical process. Guidelines are given in several
international standards, i.e., ASTM E1254-97. Following are
the recommendations for unexposed X-ray film.
First, storage facilities for unexposed X-ray films should
provide adequate protection from any penetrating radiation.
If the films are stored for longer than three months, background radiation may not exceed 90 nGy/h (18 x 10-10 C/Kg/h). Films in containers sealed by the manufacturer

should be stored with the films on edge, whenever possible.
Storage temperature should be between 4.4°C and 23.8°C
at a relative humidity range of 30 to 60 percent.
As higher temperatures accelerate certain physicochemical
processes in the emulsion, STRUCTURIX films should always
be stored in a cool place (within the above mentioned
temperature range).
While films in opened packages are also affected by humidity,
it is advisable to ensure that the relative humidity in thestorage room remains under 60 percent. It is also ecommended that the films are not stored in the immediate vicinityof X-ray chemicals.
If STRUCTURIX films are handled and stored in accordancewith the directions noted above, we guarante their goodquality at least until the expiration date on the box.

27

STRUCTURIX Processing
Equipment

Our systems approach means your film processing options are fullycompatible with STRUCTURIX chemicals and equipment.

After being X-rayed, each radiographic film needs to beprocessed before examining the film results. Dependingon the place, situation and application, processing of
the industrial X-rays films is carried out by manual or
automatic processing. Waygate Technologies provides
the full STRUCTURIX Film Systems product line.
Thus, complete solutions are available to choose thebest way of processing your films in combination with
STRUCTURIX chemicals and equipment. All are perfectly
suited to one another.

Automatic Film Processing Equipment
Waygate Technologies' processing equipment isrenowned for its unwavering reliability and robust design.
All STRUCTURIX film processors feature:
Perfect processing quality
The design of STRUCTURIX processors is based on several
decades of experience and know-how in dedicatedindustrial X-ray film processor design and construction.
This, together with the use of state-of-the-art technology,
explains why we can guarantee high quality film
processing.

28

Minimum processing costs
The precise control of replenishment ensures accuratechemistry consumption. A very minimum volume ofwater (as little as 13 l/m2 with our ECO processors) is usedduring processing, creating a low ecological impact. The
consumption of electricity is also low, due to the infrared
drying system and other design elements such as theautomatic switch to standby.
Low heat emission
All Waygate Technologies processors feature infrared drying,
which not only guarantees uniform drying of films, but also
reduces the energy consumption and helps keep darkroom
temperatures down. As such, a comfortable working temperature in the darkroom is more easily maintained.
Adjustable film receiving tray
The film receiving tray of all Waygate Technologies' processors can easily be adjusted to suit the kind of film size
being processed, i.e., sheet film, welding formats or roll film.
Processed films collect in the tray in the order of the film
being inserted.
In addition, our equipment is designed to meet all required
safety regulations and are EMC compliant. All film processors are supplied with the CE, TUV GS and NRTL label as wellas the CE Declaration of Conformity and are manufactured
to ISO 9001 standards. These designations are continued
proof of our commitment to quality and reliability.

Revolutionary ‘ECO’ or Cascade Fixing Processing Technology

The STRUCTURIX S ECO and M ECO are the future of
ecologically responsible processing. These processing
machines are designed to meet the strictest standards
for silver content in wash water. Thanks to the uniquecascade fixing system, the amount of silver in the washwater is 15 to 25 times lower than in a conventional
processing system.

Cascade fixing
The ‘ECO’ or cascade fixing system is an entirely new
concept for processing X-ray films. The STRUCTURIX S ECO
and M ECO processors are built with two successive fixing
tanks replenished on the counter flow principle.
The result is nothing less than revolutionary in terms of
the amount of silver in the wash water. The cascade fixing
principle is very simple: the exposed film is first developedin the developer tank, then washed in the intermediate
wash tank.

The intermediate washing system ensures that there ishardly any carry-over of developer into the fixing tanks,
thus keeping the fixer bath in optimal condition. The intermediate washing also prevents development faults
occurring on the film. The film is then 100 percent fixedin the first fixer tank and rinsed in the second fixer tank.
Since fixer replenishment is carried out in the second fixer
tank, the concentration of silver in this tank remains very
low. There is also very little carry-over of silver into thewater tank, so that the waste water complies with the moststringent standards. Fixer replenishment works on the
counter flow principle, with the first fixer tank being replenished from the overflow of the second fixer tank. An added
advantage of this is that nearly all of the silver released in
the fixing stage ends up in the overflow from the first fixing
tank. This ensures optimum silver recovery.
The “cascade fixing” system ensures that the amount ofsilver in the wash water remains within the limit of <50 mg/m2.
With the STRUCTURIX S ECO and M ECO, ecology goes handin hand with economy.

STRUCTURIX S ECO

In addition to the unique advantages of the ‘ECO’ processing technology, the STRUCTURIX S ECO guarantees
several other features. These include a large capacity,
superior image quality, precise replenishment andminimum processing costs.

Large capacity
STRUCTURIX SECO can be set to either a 5 or an 8 minutecycle. In both cases, the throughput of the SECO is sufficient
to meet the needs of large film users or companies withhigh production peaks. When set to the 5 minute cycle, the
STRUCTURIX S ECO processes no less than 51 cm of film per
minute or 78 films per hour of 35 x 43 cm. In this 5 minutecycle, the processor forms the basis for the “ECO Film
System”. In such a system, the STRUCTURIX film, chemistry
and processor are all carefully matched to ensure the best
possible ECOlogical results in terms of silver in the washwater while ensuring the lowest chemistry consumption
and waste.

Superior image quality
STRUCTURIX S ECO is perfectly suited to applications thatdemand the highest image quality. The technology in termsof rack construction and roller configurations has proved
its worth in previous processors. A microprocessor provides“smart” control of all process functions. This results in perfect,
even drying of your films in all ambient conditions.

Precise replenishment
The surface area of the film is measured accurately on entry
by 11 detection rollers. This unique method of scanning
actually controls the replenishment far more precisely thana length only measurement, thus keeping replenishment
usage to an efficient minimum.

Anti-crystallization cycle
The STRUCTURIX S ECO has a “drive cycle” or “anticrystallization” cycle, which in stand-by mode activates theroller transport mechanism sporadically for short periods oftime. This cycle keeps the energy consumption to an absolute
minimum, while avoiding crystallization of chemicals on
the rollers and, therefore, increases the life of the processor
considerably.

Processing cycles
The microprocessor has seven pre-programmed processing
cycles varying between 1.5 to 12 minutes. These standard
cycles can be set quickly and easily. Simply select therequired cycle time on the display, and the other processing
parameters such as development temperature, dryer
level, fixing temperature and replenishment rates adjust
automatically.

Customized processing
This feature allows you to manually adjust the processing
speed from five to 12.5 minutes in steps of 30 seconds.
Processing parameters can be locked and protected by aspecial password.

Reliable electronics
The STRUCTURIX S ECO is equipped with highly reliable
electronics, designed to give security of operation. Allprocessing parameters, including temperature, speed,
replenishment quantities and drying capacity, are controlled
by a microprocessor.
30

User Comfort

Multifunctional drainage system

Unique daylight system

The STRUCTURIX S ECO is equipped with threeway drainage
valves. This makes it simple to direct photo-chemicals
and cleaning chemicals to the correct collection tank. The
valves also prevent the formation of toxic fumes in thewaste chemical collection tank.

When combined with the STRUCTURIX FEEDER, the S ECO
becomes a unique and practical daylight system. The
feeder automatically follows the film processing speedof the S ECO processor, even when the speed is altered.
In cases where the STRUCTURIX S ECO is used without afeeder, an optional light-tight cover can be ordered.

Easy maintenance

STRUCTURIX M ECO
Compact and ecological

The STRUCTURIX M ECO is the most compact processor of
the STRUCTURIX Eco Film Systems, suited to applications
that demand the highest image quality while being
ecologically responsible. The secret lies in the double
fixing tank, the cascade fixing system - a unique concept
in the tabletop processors range.
The ease of use and the problemfree maintenance makethe STRUCTURIX M ECO an extremely user-friendly andreliable processor. It has been designed for consumers ofsmall and medium quantity of film.

ECOlogical Design
The STRUCTURIX M ECO lives up to expectations
ecologically with:• Revolutionary cascade fixing system which reduces theamount of silver in the waste water by a factor of 5 to 10.
• Reduction of fixer replenishment if the
STRUCTURIX ecoFix is used.
• Economical water and electricity consumption.
• Infrared drying reducing the amount of heat producedin the darkroom to a minimum.
• Optimal replenishment system as a resultof film surface scanning.
• Intermediate washing which ensures that there is hardly
any carry-over of developer, keeping the fixer bath in
optimum condition. This system also prevents
development faults occuring on the film.
• Design for Recycling
Extra attention has been given to the selection of thematerials in order to improve the recyclability. Materials
or components which can disrupt the recycling process
are easy removable. A Recycling-Passport (RP) andEquipment Information Sheet (EIS) are available.

Exact Replenishment
The surface area of the film is measured accurately on
entry by 5 detector rollers. This unique film area scanning
ensures a precise economic, ecologic replenishment
operation and reduced replenishment rates.

Minimal Running Costs
The accurate replenishment, as described above, implies
low chemical consumption. In addition, during film
processing only an ecologically justified volume of water isused and the consumption of electricity is particularly low
due to the infrared drying system.

All bottles feature a safety seal. This seal occurs during
production. It is welded to the bottle by induction heating
to form a perfectly airtight closure. When you remove thescrew cap, a skin of polyethylene remains on the neck of
the bottle. The skin allows the bottle to be placed upside
down on a mixer. This feature is also one of our manyenvironmentally safe practices.

We advise you ensure a well-ventilated processing room.
An air exchange of 10 times the room volume per houris recommended to prevent the build-up of too high aconcentration of chemical fumes in the air.

STRUCTURIX G 128 Developer

STRUCTURIX G 328 Fixer

G 128 is a single part, liquid developer for manual processingof industrial X-ray films. Its main advantages include:• Excellent stability during storage as concentrate• Robust performance in high temperatureand high humidity conditions• Resistance to oxidation in normal use• Excellent speed• Exceptional contrast characteristics

G 328 fixer is a single part, liquid fixer for manual processingof industrial X-ray films. The G 328 fixer contains no hardening agent.

The G 128 manual developer is available in boxes containing
four sets of 5 litre bottles of concentrate. Each 4 x 5 litresbox will make four sets of 25 litres of ready-for-use solution.
The recommended replenishment rate depends on the
manual processing system used:• 	600 ml/m2 or 90 ml/film of 35 x 43 cm is the averagerate to preserve good processing condition (reference:
STRUCTURIX D7 film with an average density of 2.50)
The standard developing temperature is 20°C for fiveminutes developing time.
• 400 ml/m2 with channel type hangers• 300 ml/m2 with clip type hangers
To obtain best results, the G 128 developer should be usedin conjunction with the STRUCTURIX G 328 fixer.

44

It is available in shipping cartons containing four sets of 5 litresconcentrate for four sets of 25 litres ready-for-use bath.
The recommended replenishment rate is independentof the used manual processing system and is applicablefor both clip type hangers and channel type hangers:• 600 ml/m2 is the average rate or 90 ml/film of 35 x 43 cm• Keep the solution level constant and replace after 1.5 m2
film per litre original solution has been fixed
In the event an automatic dryer such as the dryer unit
is used, a hardening fixer, preferably G 335 (part A & B)
or ecoFIX (part A & B), is recommended. When using the
STRUCTURIX G 328 fixer, we strongly advise you add ahardening agent to the G 328 fixer.

STRUCTURIX
Quality Assurance Tools

Standard for control of film processing by meansof reference values.
To assist our customers in making sure the film systems
render the expected capability in daily use, we refer to thestandards for radiographic examination. EN444, ISO 5579,
ASTM E94 and others specify that the user has to process
the films in accordance with the conditions recommended
by the manufacturer and pay special attention to monitor
and control developing, fixing and washing.
ASTM E94 states: “To produce a satisfactory radiograph,the care used in making the exposure must be followed byequal care in processing. The most careful radiographic
techniques can be nullified by incorrect or improper
darkroom procedures.”
Therefore ISO 11699 consists of two parts. ISO 11699-2 describes
how the user should control his or her processing system.
For instance, to guarantee the designed film system’s
performance, calibrated pre-exposed strips provided by thefilm manufacturer must be used.
We designed the STRUCTURIX Quality Assurance Tools, a setof practical, dedicated tools for the radiographer to control
and prove compliance of his or her entire system.
