Kowotest Flexible Duplex Wire Type IQI

Kowotest Flexible Duplex Wire Type IQI

Total Image Unsharpness Gage according to ISO 19232-5, ASTM E2002

Overview

The Duplex Wire Type IQI is a Flexible DDA Duplex Wire Gauge that is capable of bending around curved surfaces, such as pipes, to achieve a precise evaluation of basic spatial resolution and unsharpness in digital X-ray imaging. 

Note: The matching flexible IQI magnetic holder (RT-KT-11-00159) is purchased separately from the Flexible Duplex Wire Type IQI, ISO 19232-5, ASTM E2002 (RT-KT-11-00158)

Normal Duplex Vs. Flexible Duplex IQI

The Flexible Duplex Wire Type IQI was compared to a normal D13 IQI. The findings are as follows:

  • Flexible Duplex Wire Type IQI dimensions are 72 mm long x 5 mm thick vs the 
  • Standard D13 dimensions 70 mm long x 3 mm thick

  • The Flexible Duplex Wire Type IQI resolution agreed with the standard D13 gauge
  • The Flexible  Duplex Wire Type IQI bent to 2” pipe diameter
