X Ray 10mmpb Lead Glass Radiation 1000mm X 2000mm Size For Shielding

X Ray 10mmpb Lead Glass 1000mm x 2000mm size for Radiation Shielding

Description:

Radiation shielding lead glass is installed in x-ray room windows to help protect against radiation exposure while allowing optimal visibility into the room while procedures are being performed.

This is vital to ensure that medical personnel keeps safe from harmful radiation. Lead glass is also used in other applications where radiation is present, such as in nuclear medicine.

In these cases, lead glass is used to shield against gamma rays, which are even more penetrating than x-rays. Lead-lined frames are also an essential component of radiation shielding, as they help to ensure that the lead glass is firmly mounted in place and that no radiation is passing through the frame.

X-RAY GLASS IS:

• Available in 1.7mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, ,3mm and 4.2mm lead shielding equivalences and higher ratings are available upon request.
• The highest density x-ray lead glass available for the most efficient medical radiation shielding quality, and yet also allowing approx. 88% spectral light transmission.
• Uniformly dense and is a composition of high-quality materials providing a dependable shielding value.
• Utilized for medical x-ray, gamma, alpha, and beta photon shielding only.
• Not for thermal neutron or fast neutron shielding. X-Ray lead glass will NOT shield against Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), electro-magnetism or radio-frequency, ultrasound, laser, or any non-ionizing types of radiation.

FAQ:

WHY PROTECTION FROM RADIATION IS IMPORTANT?

Of course, we all know that too much exposure to radiation can be dangerous. But what many people don’t realize is that even small amounts of radiation exposure can add up over time and lead to health problems. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that you are protected from radiation with lead glass and lead lined frames whenever you are in a situation where there is a potential for exposure. X-rays produce ionizing radiation, which can damage cells in your body and lead to a wide range of serious health problems.

HOW IS LEAD GLASS FOR AN X-RAY WINDOW MADE?

Lead glass is made by adding lead oxide to molten glass, which gives it its characteristic heavy weight and high density. This makes it an ideal material for radiation shielding, as it is able to block a large amount of radiation. Lead glass x-ray windows are typically much thicker than regular glass windows, as they need to be able to block a higher level of radiation.
