Flexible Radiation Shielding Solution for Industrial X-Ray Testing Workshop

Market Background

Industrial X-ray testing is widely used in welding inspection, casting evaluation, and pipeline quality control. As inspection frequency and equipment power increase, radiation protection becomes a decisive factor in workshop design. Industrial users require shielding systems that combine high attenuation performance with reusability, especially in rented or temporary inspection sites.

Customer & Application Scenario

An industrial equipment manufacturer operated a mobile X-ray inspection workshop for internal quality control and third-party testing services. The inspection layout frequently changed depending on product size and testing standards. Fixed concrete shielding limited flexibility and increased long-term costs. The customer required a reconfigurable radiation shielding solution that could be relocated and expanded as needed.

Our Solution

Chengxin Radiation Protection supplied rectangular interlocking lead bricks designed for rapid assembly and dismantling. The bricks were cast from high-density lead, ensuring excellent shielding efficiency even at higher tube voltages. The interlocking design ensured structural stability without additional binding materials.

Our technical team evaluated key factors such as machine type (unidirectional X-ray source), exposure time, operator distance, and surrounding personnel activity. Based on these parameters, we optimized the protective wall thickness and layout to balance safety and material efficiency.
