1100 Gamma-Ray Source Projector.

Lightweight, longer service life, and safer, simple operation

Radiographers use the 1100 Gamma-Ray Source Projector to perform industrial gamma radiography using Ir-192 and Se-75 on welds, castings, and structural components.

As QSA Global's newest gamma-ray source projector, the 1100 is safer, easier to operate, and lasts twice as long as the 880 Series Delta. A new ergonomic handle makes the projector more comfortable to carry, and a larger label area supports required IATA transport markings, eliminating the need for overpack labels. Backward compatibility with 880 Series controls, guide tubes, and shielding allows NDT service providers to upgrade without retraining crews or replacing existing equipment.

QSA Global designed, tested, and manufactured the 1100 Gamma-Ray Source Projector to meet ANSI N432-1980, ISO 3999:2004(E), IAEA SSR-6 (2012 & 2018), USNRC 10CFR34, 10CFR71, and 49CFR173 to ensure safe, compliant operations in field environments.

1100 Features for Safer, Simpler Operation

  • 1100 Field Replaceable Lock Operate

    Avoid Downtime from Lock Failures

    The new lock has a field-replaceable core that RSOs can swap out on-site, keeping the 1100 in service and inspections on schedule. A larger lock slide with improved position identification and side access helps radiographers confirm lock status and shutter position at a glance.
  • 1100 Front Plate Indicators

    Make Confident Connections

    Color-coded CONNECT, SECURE, and OPERATE front plate indicators guide radiographers through guide tube connection. Better side access at the rear plate and improved lock slide visibility confirm that the source is securely locked and safe before exposure, reducing misconnect risk and operator dose.
  • 1100 S-Tube Ilustration

    Get Twice the Service Life

    Get twice the service life with a new S-tube design with improved, thicker tubing, and optimized geometry. The 1100 includes a 3-year S-tube warranty to help you avoid unplanned capital expenses and workflow delays from premature replacement.

    Enjoy Lighter Weight

    Weighing 48 lb (22 kg) with the jacket, the 1100 is under the 50 lb limit for one‑person handling. Radiographers can carry and position the projector themselves, reducing the need for added crew members and improving access to confined spaces.
