New KODAK INDUSTREX HS800 Film Offers Speed and Versatility for Industrial Radiography



Eastman Kodak Company announces the availability of Kodak Industrex HS800 film, the company's fastest and most versatile film for non-destructive testing. The new film adapts to any exposure methods: direct, lead, fluorescent or fluorometallic screen; and employs Kodak T-Grain® Emulsion Technology: high speed, contrast and fine grain. Combined with the efficient Kodak Lanex fast screens, HS800 film offers more speed than any film-screen combination available today.

"This versatile new film advances the science of non-destructive testing and demonstrates Kodak's dedication to providing the NDT industry with new film-based and digital solutions," said Martin Graen, General Manager of Kodak's non-destructive testing business. "Kodak continues to bring new and exciting solutions designed specifically for industrial radiography to markets around the world."

Considered as the fastest film in the industrex film family, it offers high speed and contrast through a wide range of optical densities when used with fluorescent or fluorometallic screens or where very short exposures are required, such as for inspection of offshore pipelines. Designed for any high-density material applications where short exposure time is an advantage, the film is suitable for inspection of thick-wall castings, concrete pipeline and lay barge applications and bridges.
