X-ray Orientation Analyzer can be divided into directional radiation and circumferential radiation from the radiation angle.  Directional radiation: it is fixed unidirectional radiation, and the radiation cone angle of radiation beam is generally in the range of 40 ~ 45.  Circumferential radiation: The X-ray beam radiates X-rays at the same time on a 360-degree circumference perpendicular to the axis of the X-ray tube. For the detection of annular welds of large-diameter pipe fittings and spherical containers, the whole weld can be inspected and photographed by one exposure, thus greatly improving the detection efficiency.

The discovery of X-rays is of great significance in human history. It has opened up a new path for natural science and medicine. Its wavelength is shorter than that of visible light (about 0.001～100nm, and the wavelength of X-rays used in medicine is about 0.001.  ~ ～0.1nm), its photon energy is tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands times greater than that of visible light.  Therefore, X-rays have their own characteristics besides the general properties of visible light.

Among them, X-ray orientation analyzer is widely used in shipbuilding, petroleum, chemical industry, machinery, space flight, transportation and so on. It mainly inspects ship hulls, pipelines, high pressure vessels, boilers, airplanes, vehicles and so on.  Because the X-ray orientation analyzer can detect defects such as extremely fine cracks, hairlines, white spots, folds, inclusions and the like on the surface of the material, the X-ray orientation analyzer has high detection sensitivity, can intuitively display the position, shape, size and severity of the defects, and has good repeatability of checking the defects.

X-ray orientation analyzer can be divided into two types: glass shell X-ray tube and corrugated ceramic X-ray tube according to the different materials of X-ray tube.  Glass Shell X-ray Tube: Currently, it is widely used at home and abroad because it is relatively simple to manufacture.  Corrugated ceramic X-ray tube: At present, it is mostly used in variable frequency gas insulated portable X-ray machines. It has some characteristics such as long service life, small volume, light weight and so on.
