OpenVision HD Real-Time Radiography X-Ray System.

Real-time radiography (RTR) is an advanced, non-destructive testing method that provides live visualization of the internal structures of a component or system without disassembly or destruction.

OpenVision is a type of RTR that uses high-definition imaging technology to provide clear, detailed videos and images of corrosion, flaking scale, pitting, external wall loss, and wet insulation in real-time. This immediate, accurate visual feedback enables inspectors and asset integrity managers to make informed decisions on the spot about the condition of their assets, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and safety.

Whether for routine CUI inspections or rapid diagnostics in response to an issue, OpenVision HD's real-time radiography capabilities serve as a crucial tool in maintaining the health and integrity of critical assets.

OpenVision HD performs best on insulated piping systems with aluminum or stainless steel cladding and insulation materials like perlite, calcium silicate, cryogel, foam glass, or mineral wool. Performance depends on factors such as outer diameter, insulation thickness, and cladding gauge.

With OpenVision HD, you can view external defects as small as 0.010 inches (250 microns) on insulated piping.

We recommend grading OpenVision data like you would a visual inspection. Here’s an easy classification roadmap you can adapt to your reporting process:

We recommend including both the screen captures from OpenVision HD and your visual observations of the piping in your reports.

Radiographers screen insulated piping at a rate of 30 seconds per foot (0.30 m) using OpenVision HD. Actual screening speed depends on the radiographer, piping configuration, and number of CUI indicators found during inspection.

When radiographers detect CUI indicators on the real-time video, they capture still and targeting images for follow-up.. Overall, radiographers complete CUI screening up to 60 times faster using OpenVision HD than with traditional screening methods.

OpenVision HD utilizes a highly collimated X-ray beam to direct X-rays toward the object being screened and away from the operator.

Warning lights, a warning screen, and an audible ensure the operator is aware before X-rays are generated and during operation. A trigger interlock ensures the X-ray tube is not accidentally activated.

You can set up and start using OpenVision HD within 1-2 minutes. In most cases, no exclusion zone is required to operate OpenVision HD, so breakdown takes seconds. If a country's regulation requires an exclusion zone, it's so small that breakdown is still very quick.

OpenVision HD and its accessories are stored and transported in a customized Pelican™ case with external dimensions: 32 in x 20.5 in x 12.5 in (82 cm x 52 cm x 32 cm).

QSA Global, Inc. offers a two-day course at our OpenVision Learning Centers in La Porte, TX and Pilsen, Czech Republic. The course includes a combination of classroom and hands-on practical sessions. An expert in industrial radiography, approved by QSA Global, Inc.'s Radiation Protection & General Safety Committee (RPGSC), provides the training for this course.

Upon successfully completing the written and practical exams, students will receive a training certificate confirming their proficiency.
