X-ray checks diesel catalytic filters
A non-destructive X-ray system measures distribution of wash coats, soot, ash, and substrate damage from regeneration for diesel catalytic and particulate filters.
What is believed to be the world's first non-destructive testing (NDT) MDXi X-ray system to measure and analyse the expensive coatings and fills in diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters has been introduced by 3DX-Ray The system meaures the distributions of wash coat, soot, ash and damage due to regeneration

X-ray measures can wrinkle non-destructively
3DX-RAY has developed a, X-ray system for measuring the 'wrinkle' in cans - such as for catalytic converters - without destroying them.
3DX-Ray told manufacturingtalk that its MDXi NDT system will allow manufacturers to improve performance, reduce costs and control product quality.
The NDT tools also work on liquid fills, even when imaging through a steel container.
3DX-Ray said that only destructive testing could be used before in what it desc ribes as a 'billion dollar' marketplace.
Diesel Particulate filters have to achieve high filtration efficiency, low filtration back pressure, and fast regeneration.
The 3DX-Ray MDXi system can accurately measure distances and alignments.
The resulting database, can be linked into a QC, SPC or SCADA systems.
It uses 3DX-Ray's proprietary line-scan technology, which eliminates the need for conventional, expensive panel X-ray detectors, whilst still providing impressive data acquisition speeds and quality images.
The 3DX-Ray MDXi system also allows the user to measure the substrate damage either during manufacture or as a consequence of regeneration and provide data to enable analysis of the catalyst performance over time.
