The company introduced what is believed to be the first digital radioscopic pipe testing system RTS 13.1 onto the German/European NDT market in 2004. The advantage of digital radioscopic pipe testing over ordinary radiographic or radioscopic testing systems derives from high-speed quality testing. The technology offers digital 12-bit/16-bit X-ray images with high grey-level value, while the test procedure does not require expensive X-ray films and chemicals. YXRAY GmbH supplies the worldwide NDT market with portable and stationary X-ray equipment, including handling, digital film scanners and image processing systems. The company also sells Kodak X-ray films, film processing systems and radiographic accessories. Website : www.yxray.de
