Sensitivity Standards Wire Octopus ESP (EN 462)

Wire sensitivity standards are used in X-ray inspection to assess the sensitivity of the control circuit used in scanning. They are seven elongated metal wires enclosed in a flexible plastic case. All standards are made in accordance with the European standard EN 462-1 and ISO 19232-1. In order to minimize errors, it is recommended to use wire standards made of an alloy similar to the material of the object. The cost varies from 380 to 4,600 rubles. depending on the material and the standard size of the standard.

Wire standards of sensitivity "Sprut" are made of Fe-iron, Al-aluminum, Cu-copper, Ti-titanium according to TU 26.51.33-066-96651179-2017. Standards of sensitivity according to EN462 are applied at temperatures from minus 50 ° to plus 55 ° С and relative air humidity from 0 to 80%. Wire standards must be protected from mechanical damage (drops, shocks, etc.). 

Marking of wire gauge sensitivity standards (EN 462-1)

In the plastic covers of the standards, made in accordance with EN 462-1, there are also marks that allow you to visually easily determine the type of wire standards, both in preparation for the creation of the image and during its viewing.

At the top of each standard is a set of 5-6 characters, where the first numbers indicate the thickness, the next two letters indicate the material of the standards, and the last two letters (EN) are the standard by which they are made. For example, if we need an iron standard with small diameter wires, the marking will look like this: 13 FE EN, where 13 is the number that determines the size of the wires (the larger the number, the thinner the wire); FE is the designation of iron (from the Latin ferrum), and EN is the European standard. If you need a relatively large copper wire, you will need to look for 6 CU EN, where 6 is the size designation, CU is copper (from the Latin cuprum), and EN is the European standard designation.

Unlike the groove sensitivity standards, the wire does not need to be verified. Their use is terminated in case of damage to the plastic shell (cover) or if signs of corrosion of the metal on the surface of the standards are detected.
