FUJIFILM INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHIC FILM

IX25, IX50, IX80, IX100, IX150, IX29 AND IX59

Fujifilm industrial X-ray films feature revolutionary new film technology. The combination of the latest
in emulsion making science and computerized manufacturing processes assure consistent batchto-batch performance; optimum image quality and compatibility with all NDT chemistries and current
brand tank / automatic processing conditions.
The Fujifilm family of films incorporate unique speed, and grain technologies thus permitting their use
over a wide range of applications with consistent high quality regardless of the material examined and
the source of radiation employed.

TYPES AND
FEATURES

An appropriate choice is made among the eight types of Fujifilm Industrial Radiographic Film
according to the material and thickness of specimens, the kilovoltage or energy of radiation, and the
required accuracy of inspection.

Applications and Features

IX25

Micro-electronic parts, Castings low to medium

atomic number metals
,
Fujifilm s finest grain, high contrast ISO Class
C1, ASTM Class SPECIAL film having maximum
sharpness and discrimination characteristics.
It is suitable for new materials, such as carbon fiber
reinforced plastics, ceramic products, and micro
electronic parts. IX25 is generally used in direct
exposure techniques or with lead screens. IX25 is
recommended for automated processing only.

An ultra-fine grain, high contrast ISO Class C3,
ASTM Class I film having excellent sharpness and
high discrimination characteristics. It is suitable for
use with any low atomic number material where
fine image detail is imperative. Its ultra-fine grain
makes it useful in high energy, low subject contrast
applications where high curie isotopes or high
output x-ray machines permit its use. Wide exposure
latitude has been demonstrated in high subject
contrast applications. IX50 is generally used in direct
exposure techniques or with lead screens.

An extremely fine grain, high contrast ISO Class

minute defects. It is applicable to the inspection of
low atomic number materials with low kilovoltage
x-ray sources as well as inspection of higher
atomic number materials with high kilovoltage x-ray
or gamma ray sources. Wide exposure latitude
has been demonstrated in high subject contrast
applications. IX80 is generally used in direct
exposure techniques or with lead screens.

l Castings medium to higher atomic no. metals
A very fine grain, high contrast ISO Class C5,
ASTM Class II film suitable for the inspection of light
metals with low activity radiation sources and for
inspection of thick, higher density specimens with
high kilovoltage x-ray or gamma ray sources. Wide
exposure latitude has been demonstrated in high
contrast subject applications.
Although IX100 is generally used in direct exposure
techniques or with lead screens, it is suitable for use
with fluorescent or fluorometallic screens.

A high speed, fine grain, high contrast ISO Class C6,
ASTM Class III film suitable for inspection of a large
variety of specimens with low-to-high kilovoltage
x-ray and gamma ray sources. It is particularly
useful when gamma ray sources of high activity are
unavailable or when very thick specimens are to be
inspected. It is also useful in x-ray diffraction work.
IX150 is used in direct exposure techniques or with
lead screens.

IX29

l Castings and other multi-thickness subjects

An ultra-fine grain, medium-high contrast ASTM
Class W A film suitable to inspect wide ranged
thickness subjects such as precision cast parts with
X-ray or gamma ray sources. IX29 can be used in
direct exposure techniques or with lead screens, or
in applications involving fluorometallic screens.

IX59

l Castings and other multi-thickness subjects

An extremely fine grain, medium contrast ASTM
Class WB film suitable to inspect multi-thick, lowatomic number metal, and steel cast parts. IX59 can
be used in direct exposure techniques or with lead
screens, or in applications involving fluorometallic
screens.
