For 25 years, Spectroflash has been engaged in the development and serial production of portable X-ray flaw detectors designed to control the quality of various metal structures in hard-to-reach places. The largest part of them, which received the name ARINA when it was created, works in a pulsed mode on the principle of explosive electron emission, contains 6 models differing from each other in voltage on the X-ray tube and radiation power. These devices compare favorably with devices of constant potential in small dimensions and weight, the possibility of using both panoramic and directional radiography, the possibility of power supply from batteries and ease of maintenance and in the production of repair work.
Currently, Spectroflash LLC has developed an improved series of impulse devices called PAMIR, containing 3 models of devices that exceed ARINA devices in service life and continuous operation time
The PAMIR-200 has the smallest dimensions and the lowest radiation power in the new series of flaw detectors. It uses an X-ray tube IMA2-150D, in which the output window is aligned with the anode of the tube, which allows you to install the emitter close to the object under study. This circumstance is successfully used when conducting various kinds of research in science and technology.
PAMIR-200 is also used in flaw detection for screening thin-walled industrial products - for example, when welding steel pipes of small diameters.
