  • Test Module X-ray Machine Principle

    Test Module X-ray Machine Principle

    X-rays are produced within the X-ray machine, also known as an X-ray tube. No external radioactive material is involved. Radiographers can change the current and voltage settings on the X-ray machine in order to manipulate the properties of the X-ray beam. X-ray tubes produce x-rays by decelerating a high-speed stream of electrons, generated at the cathode, which then interact with the anode. The design of the tube includes components like cathodes, anodes, and protective housing to manage heat and optimize x-ray production, with various types of. An X-ray machine is a device that is mainly used for the purpose of imaging. As the name itself suggests, an X-ray machine makes use of the properties of x-rays for a number of real-life applications including medical radiology, radiation therapy, research and development purposes, and various.

  • How to test the degree of bending of optical cable

    How to test the degree of bending of optical cable

    IEC 60794-1-111: 2023 defines the test procedure to determine the ability of an optical fibre cable to withstand bending around a test mandrel. Exceed it once and you might get away with it. Exceed it repeatedly, around truss corners, over stage decks, wound tight on undersized reels, and you're stacking up loss that. How do manufacturers prevent these problems and ensure reliable performance? The kink test provides the answer. It simulates extreme bending to identify weak points before cables are used. The performance assessment of FTTH drop cables includes several critical test items:. Fiber optic cable bend radius is a critical mechanical parameter that determines how sharply a cable can be bent without risking microbending, macrobending, signal loss, or long-term structural fatigue. The machine secures the cable at the tensile load point and bends it 90° to both the left and right sides of the plumb line. This test does not assess attenuation detection.
