The HEXALON CUT LEAD SCREEN 4.5" X 8.5", 0.005" is a premium-quality intensifying screen designed to elevate the performance of your industrial radiographic testing (RT) procedures. Precision-cut to a convenient 4.5-inch by 8.5-inch size, this screen features a meticulously controlled 0.005-inch thickness of pure lead foil, striking the optimal balance between image intensification and scatter radiation absorption for a wide range of material types and thicknesses.  

Manufactured by Hexalon, a trusted name in radiographic consumables, this lead screen is engineered to enhance the clarity, contrast, and overall quality of your radiographic images. The thin layer of high-purity lead is expertly bonded to a durable yet flexible backing material, ensuring excellent film-to-screen contact, even on curved or irregular surfaces – a critical factor for sharp and accurate flaw detection.  

To ensure longevity and maintain image integrity, the Hexalon Cut Lead Screen often features a protective top layer, such as Hexalon's renowned Enviroseal coating. This safeguard prevents scratching, oxidation, and damage from handling, ensuring consistent performance over time. The clean, precisely cut edges, often with a smooth radius, promote safe handling and prevent film damage.  

By emitting secondary electrons upon exposure to radiation, these lead screens significantly intensify the radiographic image, allowing for potentially shorter exposure times and contributing to more efficient inspections. Simultaneously, the lead effectively absorbs scatter radiation originating from the test object, dramatically improving image contrast and making even subtle flaws and discontinuities more readily apparent. This enhanced contrast and sensitivity translate directly into more reliable and accurate non-destructive testing results.
