Definitions
- the present invention relates to a converter of non-luminous photons, called input photons such as X or Y photons, into light photons, of the type comprising a layer of phosphor disposed on the path of said non-visible photons.
- the invention also relates to an installation for the non-destructive testing of material such as reinforced or prestressed concrete.
- the radioscopy or gammascopy systems existing in the medical and industrial field operate at a fixed station; it is indeed the part to be checked which moves in front of the control system, and these systems use low and medium energy X-rays: from 10 keV to 200 keV.
- These systems mostly use an image intensifier (or image intensifier) as an X-ray photon / light photon converter.
- image intensifier or image intensifier
- Such an element is relatively heavy and bulky, although of small diameter, and requires a high voltage supply.
- the image formed, available at the output of this intensifier is analyzed by a television camera and displayed remotely on a television screen.
- This type of apparatus gives very good quality images only if the radiation used is of low or medium energy and only if the controlled material is of low density and not very diffusing.
- this same apparatus does not give a satisfactory result if the radiation used is high energy X or 0 radiation (up to 10 MeV), the conversion efficiency of the intensifier then not being high enough, and if the controlled material is dense and very diffusing (case of concrete).
- the present invention firstly aims to propose a converter having a satisfactory efficiency for input photons of energy greater than 200 keV.
- the present invention also aims to propose a device - or installation - for non-destructive testing by radioscopy or gamma radiography giving good quality images on concrete thicknesses as large as possible, while being able to use the same sources of radiation as in conventional radiography (Ir 192 and Cobalt 60).
- the proposed device being intended for use on site, care should be taken to select components of low weight, small dimensions and very good mechanical resistance, with the minimum of servitudes as to the electrical supplies necessary for its operation.
- the converter according to the invention is characterized in that it further comprises, upstream of said phosphor layer, relative to the direction of movement of the non-luminous input photons, a metal sheet in which said non-luminous photons are converted into non-luminous photons of lower energy, by Compton collision of said high energy photons on electrons of said metallic sheet.
- the energy of the non-luminous input photons is substantially between 200 keV and 10 MeV.
- the thickness of the metal sheet is between 100 and 500 ⁇ m.
- the metal sheet comprises at least one of the following metals: lead, gold.
- immediately upstream of the phosphor layer is a light reflecting layer.
- the light reflecting layer is made of titanium oxide.
- the non-destructive testing installation is characterized in that it comprises: a source of non-luminous photonic radiation directing a flow of said radiation on the material to be checked, a lead filter disposed downstream of this material for stop low energy radiation from the diffusion in said material of radiation from the source, a converter as described above, to transform the photons from said filter into light photons, a mirror inclined relative to the path of said light photons to receiving these photons and directing them onto the input objective of a television camera, and an image viewing device receiving the video signal supplied by said camera.
- the source, on the one hand, and the detection assembly comprising the converter, the mirror and the television camera, on the other hand, are each associated with respective displacement means for moving them in at least two directions. spatial, these displacement means being remotely controllable.
- the installation shown includes: a source of X or D radiation, 1 directing a beam of high energy radiation 2 towards a reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete to be inspected 3, a lead filter 4 stopping low energy radiation from the scattering in the material 3 of the radiation 2 originating from the source 1, a converter 5 transforming the X photons or tissues of the filter 4 into light photons 6 forming an image of suitable format, for example of 30 cm x 40 cm, a mirror 7 arranged at 45 ° relative to the plane 5a of the converter 5, this mirror receiving the light 6 supplied by the converter 5 and having a high reflection coefficient, for example 0.97, for the emission wavelength of the converter 5 a television camera 8 analyzing line by line the image reflected by the mirror 7, this camera 8 preferably being at low light level and being equipped with an optical lens 8a of high brightness and large aperture, for example or vrant at f / 0.95, and a viewing device - or monitor - 9 viewing the image obtained from the video signal which is supplied by the camera 8 and which is, if
- the radiation supplied by the source 1 is preferably of energy between 200 keV and 10 M eV.
- This source 1 can be a Cobalt 60 or Iridium 192 source; alternatively, this source can be of the type comprising an accelerator directing a flow of electrically charged particles on a target.
- ⁇ - visible, or X - visible converters generally have a very low efficiency - or yield - as soon as the energy of the X or ⁇ photons exceeds 200 keV. It was therefore excluded to use one of these converters in the inspection and / or control installation presently described.
- the converter shown in FIG. 2 has the advantage of giving an image of sufficient quality from high energy X or ⁇ photons to look for defects in concrete. Furthermore, such a converter is not fragile, it is simple to use and, in particular, it does not require complicated electronic equipment, and it is thin, light, and available - or easy to make - in dimensions identical to those of the commonly used x-ray films 30 cm x 40 cm.
- This converter comprises contiguously and from left to right in FIG. 2: a cardboard support 13, a metallic sheet of lead or gold, 14 of approximately 250 ⁇ m thick, arranged on one face of said support 13, a reflective layer of titanium oxide Ti0 2 , 15, of approximately 10 ⁇ m thick, a fluorescent layer of Zn S Cd: Ag, 16 of approximately 1000 ⁇ m in thickness and a protective layer 17 of approximately 10 ⁇ m thick.
- This type of screen converter typically has a 12.8% improvement in brightness, compared to a known medical fluorescent screen used under the same conditions. The contrast is increased by 12%. Other measurements have also shown that the brightness of this screen is produced mainly by the primary radiation from the material to be checked, whereas in the case of the known medical screen, this brightness is mainly due to the scattered radiation.
- the limit resolution of the complete chain in Figure 1 is that of the converter, i.e. 1 ⁇ l / mm at 4% contrast.
- the so-called televised radioscopy chain thus formed typically gives perfectly usable images up to a thickness of concrete traversed by 45 cm for a Cobalt 60 source of 250 Ci, and 1 m thickness for a linear accelerator delivering 700 rad / min at lm at 10 MeV.
- This televised radioscopy chain is advantageously applied to the control of the quality of concrete injections and to the positioning of prestressed cables in concrete.
- the source 1 and the detector assembly 4 and 5, 7 and 8, designated below under the reference 19 must move in synchronism on either side of the concrete wall 30 to be inspected. This will be achieved by "piloting on sight” of the assembly according to the principle of FIG. 3.
- the source 1 and the detection sub-assembly 19 are each associated with means, respectively 20 and 21, for their displacement in X, and Z or in X, Y and Z; the means 20 and 21 are each remotely controlled by a respective manual control device 22 and 23.
- Figures-4 box bridge
- 5 beam bridge
- 6 slab bridge
- the source 1 is preferably a linear accelerator
- Figures 3 to 6 the same elements are designated by the same references.
- Figure 6 shows, on its right and left halves, two modes of arrangement of the inspection chain.
- the displacement means 20 and 21 are mechanically independent from one another, while, according to FIG. 5, these means are joined together by a structural element 24. According to FIG. 6, a single displacement means 20 ensures the displacement of the units 1 and 19.
- the so-called high-energy television radioscopy installation which has just been described is mainly intended for the control of prestressed concrete engineering structures, using high energy X or ⁇ radiation (preferably from 200 keV to 10 MeV ). It uses a special fluometric converter specially designed and manufactured for this installation.
