8 Things You Need To Know About X-Ray Application Testing

Before you invest in an X-ray detection system, wouldn’t it be nice to test the equipment to see if it meets your needs? Fortunately, X-ray equipment suppliers offer a common lab test, called an “application test,” which replicates your production line and scans your sample products. You will learn exactly what the X-ray system can and cannot do before you make a purchase decision. What do you need to know about the application test?

1. Why should I request an application test?

Common reasons for application testing include:

• to test a specific equipment model with your products to ensure it meets your needs
• to establish X-ray detection standards for your exact products
• to compare equipment from different suppliers
• to determine if a quality control feature is suitable for your products. (Many X-ray   systems   can   detect missing, broken or misshapen contents, as well as overfills and underfills, at the same time as contaminant detection.)
