General information

Current stage: 30.99 CD approved for registration as DIS Oct 16, 2024

Originator: CEN

Owner: CEN/TC 138 Non-destructive testing

Type: European Norm

Scope

This European standard specifies the checking of focal spot dimensions above 0,5 mm of X-ray systems up to and including 500 kV tube voltage, by means of radiographs of sharp edges. The image quality and the resolution of X-ray images depend highly on the characteristics of the focal spot. The imaging qualities of a focal spot are based on the two dimensional intensity distribution in the object plane.
