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.

Weld-Bead Shaver

Hand-held power tool shaves excess metal from inside circumference of welded duct. Removes excess metal deposited by penetration of tungsten/inert-gas weld or by spatter from electron-beam weld. Produces smooth transition across joint. Easier to use and not prone to overshaving. Also cuts faster, removing 35 in. (89 cm) of weld bead per hour.
