A device for the non-destructive testing of cylindrical or tubular test objects using X-radiation in tomosynthesis or laminography includes a mounting device configured to be spatially fixed at a predetermined site, a carriage attached to the mounting device and movable on a guide device in a first direction parallel to an X-axis and a C-arm disposed on the carriage. An X-ray tube and a detector are disposed opposite one another on the C-arm. The X-ray tube is movable in a second direction that is perpendicular to the X-axis, perpendicular to a plane covered by the C-arm, and parallel to a Y-axis. The detector is movable in a third direction parallel to the second direction. The C-arm may alternatively be replaced by a half shell. Also a device for the non-destructive testing of cylindrical or tubular test objects using X-radiation in a CT process includes a mounting device configured to be spatially fixed at a predetermined site, a carriage attached to the mounting device and movable on a guide device in a first direction parallel to an X-axis and a C-arm disposed on the carriage rotatable about an axis of rotation that is parallel to a Y-axis. An X-ray tube and a detector are disposed opposite one another on the C-arm and spatially fixed with respect to one another. Also a method for the non-destructive testing of cylindrical or tubular test objects.

Device and method for non-destructively testing cylindrical or tube-shaped test objects by means of X-rays

An X-ray CT examination installation, having an X-ray tube including a focus, that creates a fan beam or a conical beam which X-rays the whole of a detector at a fixed distance from the focus, and an examination carriage, for supporting an object to be examined, the carriage having an axis of rotation perpendicular to the fan beam, wherein the examination carriage can be fixed inside the fan beam close to an edge axis which meets the detector at the edge, and can be moved on a measuring line that centrally runs at an angle to a central axis which meets the detector. The invention also relates to a CT method of examining objects, in particular of various sizes, by means of an X-ray CT examination installation generally identified above.
