NM01LFNUM3/8

This package contains 100 individual lead number figures, each precisely manufactured with a height of approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) and a thickness of approximately 2 mm. These radiopaque numbers are designed without a mounting base for direct placement and are intended for use as identification markers in industrial radiography. The package contains an assortment of the digits 0 through 9, repeated multiple times.

Key Features:

• Radiopaque Lead Construction: Fabricated from lead, a material highly effective at attenuating X-rays and gamma rays, ensuring distinct and legible markings on radiographs.  

• Standard Dimensions: Each number conforms to a standardized height of approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) and a thickness of approximately 2 mm, a common specification for industrial radiography identification markers. The width of each number will vary depending on the specific digit.

• Assorted Number Set: The package includes 100 individual number figures, typically containing a sufficient quantity of each digit (0-9) to facilitate most radiographic marking needs. The exact distribution may vary slightly between suppliers.

• Unmounted Design: These lead numbers are designed without a plastic base, allowing for direct placement on the object being radiographed. This can be advantageous for irregular surfaces or when a lower profile is desired.

• Bulk Packaging: Supplied in a package containing 100 individual lead number figures, suitable for high-volume radiographic operations.  

• Permanent Radiographic Identification: Designed to produce sharp, high-contrast number markings on developed radiographic film, providing a permanent means of identifying specific areas, views, or components within the inspection.

Applications:

• Industrial Radiography (Non-Destructive Testing): Primarily used in non-destructive testing to clearly identify specific regions of interest on components being examined using X-rays or gamma rays, such as welds, castings, and structural elements.

• Radiographic Film Annotation: Placed directly on the object before exposure, the lead numbers create opaque images on the processed film, serving as permanent annotations.

• Inspection Traceability: Crucial for maintaining accurate records and facilitating the tracking of radiographic inspections by clearly labeling different exposures or sections of a test item.

• Quality Assurance Procedures: An integral part of quality control processes in manufacturing and fabrication industries that rely on radiographic inspection for defect detection and material integrity verification.

Importance:

• Ensures Clear and Unambiguous Identification: Provides a reliable method for creating easily readable identification marks on radiographic images.

• Establishes a Permanent Record: The lead markings become a permanent feature of the radiograph, ensuring long-term referenceability and traceability.

• Aids in Accurate Interpretation: Assists radiographers and inspection personnel in correctly interpreting and referencing specific locations or features within the radiographic image.

• Supports Regulatory Compliance: Often mandated by industry-specific standards and regulatory requirements for thorough and auditable radiographic examinations.
