Metal Foils for Non-Destructive Material Testing (NDT)
Highest Precision for X-Ray Technology & Industrial Quality Assurance
In non-destructive testing (NDT), maximum image sharpness, reproducibility, and absolute material purity are essential. EppsteinFOILS supplies specially developed lead-based intensifying foils used in industrial radiography to enhance image quality and radiation efficiency.
Whether inspecting weld seams in pipelines, turbine components in power plants, or ensuring quality in offshore construction - our X-ray intensifying foils meet the highest demands for surface quality, homogeneity, and dimensional stability.
Intensifying Foils for Industrial X-Ray Films
Our lead-based intensifying foils act as boosters when used in combination with industrial X-ray films. They increase film sensitivity, improve contrast, and reduce the required radiation dose. Typical applications include:
- Radiographic testing in power plant construction (e.g. pressure vessels, turbine housings)
- NDT in pipeline construction and weld inspection (onshore & offshore)
- Testing of safety-critical components in mechanical and automotive engineering
- Certification testing in aerospace
Specially engineered rolling surfaces ensure defect-free and uniform foil structures - essential for consistent image quality and safe use in radiographic inspection.
Material Properties for Demanding Testing Standards
Our foils for materials testing offer:
- Extremely tight thickness tolerances
- Absolutely clean, defect-free surfaces
- Excellent flatness and processability
- No interaction with X-ray film or backing material
- Custom-cut rolls, sheets, and formats (including < 100 µm)
Upon request, foils can be laminated with protective layers, die-cut to shape, or traceably coded - ideal for regulated inspection procedures requiring high levels of documentation.
Quality Assurance & Certification Documents
As a long-standing industry partner, EppsteinFOILS stands for maximum process reliability and full traceability in the manufacturing of technical metal foils. All production takes place under a continuously monitored and developed ISO 9001-certified quality management system. For our customers, this means: consistent standards, documented quality, and reproducible results.
On request, we provide comprehensive material certifications and detailed inspection reports to support regulatory compliance and internal quality assurance. In addition, product-specific RoHS, SVHC, and conformity declarations can be supplied depending on the application and industry. Our high in-house production depth and established supply chains ensure long-term delivery reliability - even for demanding specifications or continuous series production.
