Introduction

Moxtek HPC 150W 75kV X-ray tubes are designed to be used in XRF 

and imaging applications.  The tube is designed to be air-cooled and 

the cooling can be adapted to meet specific needs.  The push/pull fan 

configuration makes it easy to direct the warm air outward.  For XRF 

applications the cone is designed for a vacuum seal at its base.  The HPC 

tube incorporates radiation shielding.
