Positioning X-Ray Film By Balloon
Film rolled around deflated balloon before being inserted in duct. Clamped at end of segmented flexible cable and fed with balloon into duct to predetermined point where inspection made, as indicated by length of cable paid out. Inflated balloon holds x-ray film against inside wall of duct for radiographic inspection. Ensures film positioned in contact with welded joint far along duct from opening through which inserted, so clear x-ray image of joint obtained.
