8、 National foreword This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the General Mechanical Engineering Standards Policy Committee and is the English language version of EN 25580:1992 “Non-destructive testing Industrial radiographic illuminators Minimum requirements” published by the Eu
9、ropean Committee for Standardization (CEN). EN 25580:1992 is identical with ISO 5580:1985 published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). National appendix NA gives the constitution of the committees responsible for UK participation in the preparation of this standard. A Briti
10、sh Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front
11、 cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, the EN title page, pages 2 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover.

EN 25580:1992 BSI 02-19993 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for industrial illu
21、minators used for viewing radiographs. The function of the illuminator is to allow the viewing of radiographs. The illuminator shall guarantee the same safety of personnel as an electric apparatus with maximum voltage, insulation and earthing which is required by corresponding safety standards of el
22、ectrotechnics in each country where these are applied. 2 Characteristics of radiographic illuminators 2.1 Mechanical construction An illuminator consists of the housing with one of the sides being the viewing screen illuminated from the inside. This screen can itself be the diffusing screen. This ho
23、using may also contain a system for thermal protection of the radiographs; this system may or may not be ventilated. For the viewing of wet radiographs, the illuminator shall be so designed as to prevent penetration of the liquid if the radiograph comes into contact with the screen. 2.2 Viewing scre
24、en The screens shall be easy to clean and shall be made of a material which is resistant to scratching during cleaning processes recommended by the manufacturer and during film viewing. NOTE The screen may be a combination of elements, all of which should be resistant to heat in terms of deformation
25、 and discoloration. The size of the screens shall allow the viewing of a radiograph without excessive glare reaching the eyes of the operator. Should the illuminator be used for viewing radiographs of different sizes, a system of covering masks shall be provided. 2.3 Luminance The screen luminance r
26、equired depends on the density of the radiographs. The following luminance levels are recommended for the perception of information at various density levels. The luminance (or brightness) of the illuminated radiograph shall be not less than: 30 cd/m2 for film densities 2,5 and, wherever possible, a
27、pproximately 100 cd/m2 or higher. These minimum values require the following screen luminance: NOTEThe illuminator may be provided with a device for continuous control of screen luminance. 2.4 Colour of light The colour of the light used to illuminate the radiograph is normally white. However, in th
28、e case of a film with an emulsion type yielding a monocoloured image, light with adapted colours may be used if they have been recommended by the film manufacturers. 2.5 Diffusion of light If the illuminator has a diffusing screen, the light shall be sufficiently divergent so that both eyes of the o
29、bserver receive rays from all parts of the screen. The diffusion factor s9 shall exceed 0,7 (see 3.1). 2.6 Uniformity of illumination The screen shall be uniformly illuminated, the uniformity factor g being higher than 0,5 (see 3.2). 2.7 Disturbing light The housing, blinds and covering masks shall
30、be constructed in such a manner that no disturbing light hinders the viewing of the radiographs (see clause 3). 2.8 Anti-glare device Each illuminator shall be fitted with an anti-glare device which, by manual or automatic operation, prevents the operator from being subjected to excessive glare when
31、 the radiograph is removed. Film density Minimum screen luminance cd/m2 1 1,5 2 2,5 3 3,5 4 4,5 300 1 000 3 000 10 000 10 000 30 000 100 000 300 000 EN 25580:1992 4 BSI 02-1999 2.9 Heating Appropriate precautions shall be taken to ensure that the temperature of the housing does not exceed 60 C at th
32、e usual contact surfaces after 1 h of intermittent operation (50 % switched on with maximum of 15 s duration at an ambient temperature of 20 C). Further precautions shall be taken to ensure that a radiograph of density 2 does not warp after a continuous viewing time of 1 min and 1 h of intermittent
33、operation of the illuminator. 3 Determination of certain characteristics All photometric measurements shall be carried out in a dark room. The luminance meter has to be used in the middle part of its measuring scale. Moreover, light escaping from the illuminator even when the viewing screen is compl
34、etely masked shall not affect the measurements. 3.1 Divergence and dispersion of light (of diffusing screens) The luminance shall be measured on a semi-circle, the centre of which is the centre of the screen and the diameter of which is approximately the same as the maximum dimension of the screen,
35、but at least 50 cm. The luminance shall be measured with the aid of an appropriate luminance meter, the sensitive surface of which is a tangent to the curve of the circle (see the Figure). These measurements shall be made at angles of 45 (L45), 20 (L20) and 5 (L5) related to the normal. The diffusio
36、n factor s9 shall be calculated according to the formula The measurements shall be made successively in both senses of rotation. 3.2 Uniformity of screen luminance The measurements shall be made with the aid of an illumination photometer or other suitable instrument. If the screen is rectangular, it
37、 shall be divided into squares, each side of the squares measuring 3,5 cm, the luminance of each being measured separately. If the screen is circular, the same basic procedure shall be followed. In both cases, the network of the squares shall be so arranged that the middle square is centred in the m
38、iddle of the screen. The average of the four highest and the average of the four lowest results shall be found, which give the average arithmetical values of the luminance L max and L min. The uniformity factor g shall then be calculated according to the formula 3.3 Nominal power consumption The nom
39、inal power consumption is the number of watts being consumed by the illuminator after it has been in continuous operation at full luminance for a minimum period of 30 min. 4 Marking A plate which is attached to the illuminator shall give the following information : a) nominal operating voltage or pe
40、rmissible voltage range; b) nominal main frequency or permissible frequency range; c) whether for use with both direct and alternating current or only with one or the other; d) nominal power consumption; e) maximum luminance in candelas per square metre. 5 Recommendations for use Operating instructi
41、ons shall be provided with each illuminator to indicate: a) the operation of the apparatus; b) instructions for the mounting and replacement of lamps and screens; c) care and maintenance; d) safety precautions; e) frequency of checking luminance levels. s9 L45L20+ 2 L5 - -= g Lmin Lmax - -= BS EN 25
