MAXItube™ 160kV MAXItube™ 1 The MAXItube™ 160kV is a 160 kV, water cooled stationary anode metal ceramic x-ray source. This source is specifi cally designed for Non-Destructive Imaging Applications. MAXItube™ SPECIFICATIONS Maximum Peak Voltage 160 kV Focal Spot EN12543 Small D = 1.0 mm Large D = 3.0 mm Focal Spot IEC Small 0.4 mm Large 1.5 mm Target Angle 20° Maximum Continuous Rating Small 640 Wwith 4 Litre/min cooling fl ow Large 1600 Wwith 4 Litre/min cooling fl ow Cooling Medium Water Reference Axis Perpendicular to port face Radiation Coverage 40° Loading Factors for Leakage Radiation 160 kV, 10 mA X-Ray Tube Assembly Permanent Filtration 0.8 mm Be High Voltage Cable R24 Weight (approx.) 8.0 kg ( 17.6 lbs) OPERATION GENERAL The control of the high voltage and the fi lament current as well as the design of the cooling unit is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer. High Voltage Connection One terminal type R24 high voltage cables supply high voltage and fi lament current. Two diff erent methods of mounting the high voltage cable are available. Cooling of the Anode It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the cooling medium fl ow meets the required cooling conditions. Insuffi cient cooling of the anode can lead to the destruction of the anode, therefore cooling must be switched on before the application of high voltage. Control of Cooling Medium Flow, pressure, and temperature of the cooling medium at the inlet to the tube or the tube assembly must be appropriately monitored. High voltage must be terminated when the pressure or fl ow rate fall below the minimum level or when the temperature exceeds the maximum level. When the tube is switched off the coolant fl ow must continue for at least 2 minutes in order to protect the anode from destruction.
