Overview & ConceptIt is essential to understand that the Lo-rad system is simply an addition to existing radiographic equipment and techniques

The Concept is to collimate the radiation beam towards an area of interest. The area of interest is then enclosed with the Lo-Rad Mazel mats. This enclosed system eliminates all unwanted radiation and scatter from the primary beam.

The Lo-Rad system when used in conjunction with a Selenium 75 will reduce “safe working distance” If used correctly, the system will allow you a 1-3 meter barricade and still give you an acceptable reading 7.5 uSv/h

The clear benefit for your client is a decrease in loss of production and down time. Due to the small barricading areas required, the system allows you to carry out radiography continuously for a 24 hour period

How will Lo-Rad benefit you?

Lo-Rad system and technique will assist you in achieving earlier start up of plants

Lo-Rad system will also allow you to meet demands and deadlines of shut downs

With the Lo-Rad system – NO production is lost due to radiography

Lo-rad system will eliminate the need to evacuate personnel

Lo-Rad system will highlight “overhead cost savings” due to NO none productive wages being paid

Using the Lo-Rad system you will NO longer need to plan and manage windows for radiography shifts

Lo-Rad is a flexible system which fits any shape and size of steel or pipe work.Lo-Rad operates efficiently under varying temperature conditions -50 to 120 Degrees CelsiusLo-Rad system is easily attached to any specimen due to the patented self adhesive envelopesLo-Rad system allows you to use your existing and standard radiographic equipment, Techops 660, 880 Gammamat TI, TIF etcNO new techniques!NO new equipment!

Se75 has a more softer gamma ray spectrum than Ir192

Se75 has a significantly longer half life than Ir192

Se75 will give you better contrast and improved sensitivity over Ir192

Se75 works at optimal working range of 5-30mm FE

Se75 has real performance benefits when used with Lo-Rad system providing better radiographic quality

Typically at least 1 additional IQI wire is seen on radiograph

Source – Se75 (Not supplied with system)

Traditionally while using Ir192 and no shielding, large areas have to be cordoned off, up to 80 meters

With the LO-Rad system & Se75 only 1 to 3 meters is required to be Demarcated and cordoned off

With the correct Lo-Rad procedure used. At a distance of 1 to 3 meters a reading of 7.5 uSv can be expected

Barrier Distances & Demarcated Areas

We offer our clients 2 options Option 1- Clients who have Se75 These clients may make an out right purchase of our system. This will allow

you to offer the benefits to any of your customers at any time.

Option 2- Clients who do not have Se75 These clients can rent any number of systems systems from us. We offer the full system, all relevant equipment including mats, guide tube,

Se75 Isotope as well as Technicians. We will provide the full service, Radiographs, Processing film, Interpretation

and Reports.
