AGFA NDT D4W

Wide Latitude Film

Assured image quality

for wide thickness range applications.

GE Inspection Technologies brings you Agfa NDT D4W Wide

Latitude Film. This specially designed lm is recommended
for in-process radiography and the inspection of objects with
a wide range of thickness, such as castings.

Agfa NDT D4W is an extra ne grain lm with medium con-

trast and high speed similar to the standard D4 lm. It can
be used for direct exposure techniques or with lead (Pb) in-
tensifying screens when using X-rays, gamma rays or radia-
tion from megavolt equipment.

This wide latitude lm upholds Agfas reputation for optimal

image quality and consistent rugged behavior, the result of
its advanced emulsion and high-tech coating technology.

Typical applications
Our wide latitude lm is used typically for castings with
large thickness variations requiring a broad dynamic
range without sacricing image quality. Another typi-
cal application is checking wax pattern core positions
in foundries.

The Agfa NDT D4W standard packaging is NIF (non-interleaved lm).

Films are packed per 100 sheets.
