5.2.2 ICM
CHART
Newly delivered equipment comes pre-loaded with standard ICM charts for the most used film types and
materials. Custom charts for different film brand, film type or specific material can also be entered in the
PowerBox and used for exposure time or kV calculations.
Please refer to the next chapter Custom charts for more information on
entering custom charts.
The parameters linked to the chart to be used for the calculation are:
Geometry: Generator
model (currently only
directional is available)
Material: The material that
will be inspected.
Film: The film type that will
be used. Press ‘OK’ to
change the Film type or
brand.
Film density: The desired
density on the film
Confirm: Press ‘OK’ on the
confirm item when the
desired parameters are set
and go back to the main
calculation menu.
Note:
Although the CP160D/CP200D/CP225D/CP300D/CP300C can make exposures of 10kV, a kV setting
lower than 40kV will not be accepted by the calculation software. This is because the ICM exposure charts
start from 40kV.
If you wish to use the calculator at lower kV, a custom chart has to be added.
5.2.3 C
USTOM CHART
For materials or film types that are not standard included in the
calculation software, custom exposure charts can be made and stored in
the PowerBox. Custom charts will enable easy, fast and correct
calculation of the required exposure time, greatly reducing the amount of
film that is used on trial and error basis.
Custom charts can be entered in the PowerBox by specifying the material
thickness which results in the specified thickness for 5mA.min and 100mA.min for each kV line.
