RD-3505 Portable NDT X Ray Flaw Detector with 55mm Penetration for Double Wall Single Image Inspection of Tanks and Pipelines

Key Product Advantages

1. Industry-Leading Penetration Power

    

   Capable of penetrating up to 55mm Q235 steel (directional model) and 50mm (circumferential model), the RD-3505 easily handles ultra-thick-wall workpieces such as large storage tanks and high-pressure pipelines.
    
2. 2.5:1 High-Efficiency Cycle (50% Faster)

    

   Supports up to 15 minutes of continuous single exposure with a 2.5:1 rest cycle. This eliminates downtime associated with traditional 1:1 cycle machines, drastically reducing inspection time and labor costs for large-scale projects.
    
3. Ultra-Portable Heavy-Duty Design

    

   Despite its powerful performance, the generator weighs only 34-35kg and features an exquisitely engineered compact structure, making it easy to transport and deploy in remote field sites, high-altitude construction zones, and tight industrial spaces.
    
4. Dual Radiation Modes for Full-Scenario Coverage
    
   • RD-3505 (Directional): Perfect for flat welds, plate structures, and thick-wall component inspection.
   • RD-3505TH (Circumferential): Equipped with 25°×360° radiation, it enables one-time exposure for large-diameter pipeline double-wall single-image inspection, completing full-circle weld detection in a single shot.
    
5. Exceptional Stability & Low Failure Rate

    

   Field-proven to deliver consistent, high-quality imaging even in harsh on-site environments. Its low failure rate ensures minimal maintenance downtime, providing long-term reliability for critical project quality control.
    
6. Optimized for Double-Wall Single-Image (DWSI) Technique

    

   Specifically engineered to excel at DWSI inspection of spherical tanks and pipelines, significantly improving workflow efficiency and accuracy for oil & gas and petrochemical projects.
