FILM & PROCESSING

Radiography shall be done using industrial radiography film to obtain the required
radiographic quality and sensitivity. Kodak‟s AA-400 or MX-125, Agfa-Gaevert‟s D4 or D7, or
equivalent may be used.

Processing shall be done manually in atmospherically controlled (air conditioned) dark


room free from light leakages. Processing chemicals shall be used within the manufacturer‟s
recommended shelf life or product expiry date as specified.

Developing shall be done for a period between 4 to 8 minutes at a temperature of


20±2°C as per Table-2 below. The film shall be agitated at an interval of 1 to 2 minutes to
ensure even development.

 The film shall be placed in a stop bath for 30 seconds to 1 minute before being
transferred to the fixer tank, to prevent the fixer solution from being neutralized too
rapidly.
 The fixing time shall be at least double the developing time, but shall not exceed 15
minutes. At the interval of 2 to 3 minutes, film shall be agitated to ensure even fixing.
 Washing after developing and fixing shall be done in running water. Water temperature
should be 16°C to 24°C.
 After washing, the films shall be immersed for 1 to 2 minutes in a wetting agent solution
before drying be normal evaporation. A film drying cabinet incorporating circulating
heated air approximately at 60°C may be used to assist in drying.
