Miniaturization of X-Ray Tube for Portability of Tool for Detection of Corrosion Under Insulation

FY 2026-27 · 2026-07-13

Summary
This project is focused on the miniaturization of the Firm's Backscatter Corrosion Under Insulation sensor assembly with a focus on the Xray tube and peripheral components. Reducing the size and weight of the Xray tube will have the largest impact on deployability of the final device allowing for more deployment options as well as allowing for assessment of assets in very close proximity to each other. Parallel tasks include electronics/embedded systems design such as a Xray control/communication module including an emergency stop as well as shielding design for user safety and performance.

Description
This project is focused on the miniaturization of the Firm's Backscatter Corrosion Under Insulation sensor assembly with a focus on the Xray tube and peripheral components.

Description (French)
Ce projet est axé sur la miniaturisation de l’ensemble de capteurs de corrosion par rétrodiffusion sous isolation de l’entreprise, en mettant l’accent sur le tube à rayons X et les composants périphériques. La réduction de la taille et du poids du tube à rayons X aura un impact majeur sur la déployabilité du dispositif final, offrant ainsi davantage d’options de déploiement et permettant l’évaluation d’actifs situés à très courte distance les uns des autres. Les tâches parallèles comprennent la conception de systèmes électroniques et embarqués, tels qu’un module de contrôle et de communication des rayons X intégrant un arrêt d’urgence, ainsi que la conception d’un blindage garantissant la sécurité des utilisateurs et les performances du dispositif.
Expected Results
The expected results and outcomes of NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program is focused on growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through innovation and wealth creation for Canada.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats attendus du Programme d’aide à la recherche industrielle du CNRC sont axés sur la croissance des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) grâce à l’innovation et à la création de richesse pour le Canada.
