1075 SCARPro Gamma-Ray Source Projector.

Cut exclusion zones up to 98%. Double weld inspections per shift.

Radiographers use the 1075 SCARPro gamma-ray source projector to perform Small Controlled Area Radiography (SCAR) in oil refineries, power plants, fabrication shops, and construction environments near active trades, nucleonic process control gauges, and critical safety systems without shutdowns or wide evacuations.

The 1075 SCARPro uses collimation and localized shielding with Se-75 sealed sources to reduce exclusion zones by up to 98% compared to conventional radiography. With smaller exclusion zones, radiographers perform continuous RT while adjacent work continues and critical systems remain online, delivering up to 2× throughput per shift.

QSA Global designed, tested, and manufactured the 1075 SCARPro to meet ANSI N432-1980, ISO 3999:2004(E), IAEA TS-R-1 (2009), IAEA SSR-6 (2012), USNRC 10CFR34, USNRC 10CFR71, USDOT 49CFR173, ISO 9001:2015 and USNRC 10CFR71 subpart H QA program requirements.

    Cut Exclusion Zones Up to 98%

    Radiographers use the 1075 SCARPro to reduce exclusion zones by up to 98% compared to conventional radiography techniques.

    Using proper technique and shielding, including FlexShield radiation blankets, guide tube shields, and scatter shields, you can achieve exclusion zones as small as 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) for strict compliance or 10 to 15 feet (3 to 5 meters) for standard radiographic inspections.

    QSA Global provides tailored solutions to help you meet exclusion zone safety and compliance requirements across a range of inspection scenarios.

    Double Weld Inspections Per Shift

    Traditional gamma radiography restricts radiographers to 1–2 shooting windows in a 12-hour shift, limiting output to just 15–20 weld inspections per shift. Every window forces welders, scaffolders, and electricians to clear the area, leaving crews idle and driving up labor costs.

    With the 1075 SCARPro radiographers can perform continuous gamma radiography 24/7, completing 36–48 weld inspections per shift—more than double the throughput of conventional methods.

    Because exclusion zones are smaller,  nearby trades can keep working, eliminating wasted labor hours and reducing project costs, all while maintaining strict safety and compliance standards.

    Shooting Windows Production Welds / Shift
    Traditional RT Shooting Windows 1 hr shift change +
    0.5 - 1 hr lunch    		 10 welds/hr 15-20
    24/7 RT with 1075 SCARPro 24/7 continuous operations 3-4 welds/hr 36-48

    Perform RT Near Sensors & Gauges. No False Alarms, No Shutdowns.

    Conventional gamma radiography often interferes with nucleonic process control gauges and critical safety systems in refineries, petrochemical plants, and power plants. Because these instruments cannot distinguish inspection radiation from process signals, facilities resort to manual monitoring, operate without real-time data, or take critical systems offline. These disruptions can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour.

    With the 1075 SCARPro, radiographers can safely perform RT within 3-6 ft (1-2 m) of gauges and safety systems without risking interference or generating false alarms. Systems stay online during weld inspections, eliminating shutdown costs and manual workarounds so you complete projects faster and at lower cost.

    One Device. Effortless Configurations. Every Shot Covered.

    Traditional gamma radiography requires separate devices for contact shots, projection work, and specialized geometries, creating downtime every time radiographers swap systems or reconfigure setups. The 1075 SCARPro eliminates this by supporting multiple configurations in a single device:

    • Close-Contact (Category I): Securely mounts to any pipe diameter for close-contact SCAR. Ideal for piping 3 in (76 mm) OD and above. 
    • Projection (Category II): Uses a guide tube, guide tube shield, remote controls, and external collimator. Supports axial, radial, and panoramic shots in tight spaces where the device body cannot fit.
    • Offset (Optional Kit): Provides increased source-to-film distance for small-diameter piping, up to 3 in (7.6 cm). Enables superimposed and elliptical shots, avoiding rework on small-bore piping geometries.

    With one device handling all major shot types, radiographers complete more welds per shift, streamline transport, and maintain productivity across complex piping systems.
