Industrial X-ray Apparatus Applications in Hydrogen Energy Field
I. X-ray Apparatus Technical Principles
· Technical Principle: Utilizing the difference in absorption of X-rays by different materials when penetrating testing object, it detects internal structures through X-ray detectors. Suitable for flaw detection such as pores, cracks, and inclusions in hydrogen storage tanks and pipeline welds.
II. Applications in the Hydrogen Energy Industry
1. Inspection of Hydrogen Storage Containers/tanks
· Used for detecting defects such as pores, layering, and fiber fractures inside composite material hydrogen storage tanks to ensure safety.
2. Welding of Pipes and Valves
· Detecting issues such as incomplete penetration and slag inclusion in the weld seams of hydrogen transportation pipelines to prevent hydrogen embrittlement and leakage.
3. Fuel Cell Components
· Conducting non-destructive testing on the sealing structures of bipolar plates/electrochemical stacks to ensure the stability of electrochemical reactions.
III. Recommended Equipment
1.Portable X-ray digital radiography(DR) inspection system
