Industrial CT Scanning Services: Backed By Engineering Expertise

Yes, as always, there are limitations based on part density and path lengths.

Yes, but it depends on the size of the pore, crack, or void and on the size of the sample. This affects the scanning resolution

Yes, it can, as long as the part, fluid, gas mixture has a density difference of 10-15%

Completing measurements on multi-material parts is possible, and actually having more of the low-density material helps in the scanning process.

Yes, that is one of the greatest benefits of CT. It is almost always non-destructive. The only cases are when the area of interest requires an extremely high resolution or the object does not fit into the machine due to its height.

Without a doubt. This is one of our most common analysis types, called colormaps (or heatmaps), where we can compare an object to a CAD model or to other samples.

Certainly, there are limits to the amount of high-density material we can scan, but porosity and inclusion analysis on additive manufacturing is something we are quite versed in.

~30” tall x 24” wide or ~800mm by 615mm

The smallest feature size range we can reliably detect between our 2 machines is 15-21µm. Which is 3x our smallest voxel size

There is a small risk when scanning memory devices because CT scanners use ionizing X-ray radiation. The level of risk increases with longer scan times and higher X-ray power settings. However, studies have shown that the exposure required to cause significant, unrecoverable damage is substantially greater than the scan durations and settings typically used by NPC.
