We have detected "thermal leakage" using an Ageema 550. Unfortunately it is difficult to say if such thermal leakage is due to insultation failure or leaking hot water. Only digging in the affected areas will tell you. In our case it was the sand and backfill which had settled. Perhaps experience will show the difference between leaks and settlement. I don't know of any literature, but I am sure there is some - somewhere.

Perhaps a little bit less effort than digging.    Reply  Translate  Close

Despite having managed to halve the weight of similar portable X-Ray generators available on the market (while continuing to provide the same power output), the SITEX CPSERIES generators feature a shutter, a laser pointer, a beryllium window, an aluminum filter and two integrated diaphragms (customized sizes are available upon request). Without compromising the robustness and reliability for which ICM products are renowned, the small size and light weight of the SITEX CPSERIES will radically change the way that you perform your RT inspections. And you will see a positive impact in terms of both quality and return on investment (ROI). > 5 Showcases2 Videos more Showcases
