- Unsuited materials for scans
Unsuited materials for scans:
Heavy metals like lead, copper, etc.
*Depends on thickness
Those with large atomic numbers in the periodic table are less likely to have the enough x-ray penetration, which makes it unsuitable for CT scanning.
Refer to the atomic number of the near material for the composite material.
Materials | Penetration thickness | Atomic number |
---|---|---|
Resin / Plastics | 150mm | Smaller than 13 |
Aluminum | Up to 100mm | 13 |
Iron | 10mm | 26 |
Heavy metals | Under 5mm | Copper (29), Zinc (30), Silver (47), Gold (79), etc. |
*Thickness stands for the total thickness of the work.
*CT scans are available with larger objects with the cavity (inside space).
Example: For a pipe with a wall thickness of 5 mm, thickness is 10 mm.
(Not calculate the cavity)
Unsuited works for scans
:
Observation spot is less than 0.1mm
Targets smaller than the pixel size result with unclear outline when scanned, which makes it unsuitable for CT scanning.
Please refer to the below example and pixel sizes.
Ex: Circuit board
Scanned image with partial mode
Pixel size | |
---|---|
Partial scan | 0.068mm |
Normal scan | 0.136mm |
Offset scan | 0.205mm |
Even not scannable with the current model, please contact us with your request as we would like to refer to future product development.
