Some embodiments include a radiographic inspection system, comprising: a clamp comprises a housing, a base, three clamping contacts, and an actuator; wherein: the clamp is configured to be positioned around a structure and to be coupled to the structure; the base is coupled to the housing through a rotary bearing, is moveable relative to the housing, and is configured to support a detector such that the detector may rotate around the structure while the clamp remains stationary relative to the structure; and the three clamping contacts are moveable relative to the housing via the actuator in a manner such that the three clamping contacts self-center on the structure.

Self-centering clamp adapter for x-ray and gammaray weld inspection

Some embodiments include an inspection system, comprising: a radiation source; a radiation detector including an imaging array; a support structure configured to maintain a spatial relationship between the radiation source and the radiation detector; a motion control system configured to move an object relative to the radiation detector; control logic configured to: control the motion control system to move the object relative to the radiation detector; and combine data from multiple frames from the radiation detector as the object moves relative to the radiation detector into a single image.

Inspection system

Some embodiments include a radiographic inspection system, comprising: a detector; a support configured to attach the detector to a structure such that the detector is movable around the structure; a radioisotope collimator; and a collimator support arm coupling the detector to the radioisotope collimator such that the radioisotope collimator moves with the detector.

Radiographic inspection system for pipes and other structures using radioisotopes

Some embodiments include a radiographic inspection system, comprising: a drive mechanism configured to move along a structure; a detector attached to the drive mechanism; a radiation source attached to the drive mechanism and positionable relative to the detector such that a width of the structure casts a radiation shadow on an active area of the detector; and control logic coupled to the detector and configured to: receive an image from the detector; generate side wall loss information based on the image; and generate bottom wall loss information based on the image.
