Pro-Pinhole is a precision tool (pinhole camera) from Diagnomatic, designed for accurate measurement of X-ray focus spot size in non-destructive testing (NDT). It supports modeling and measurement of various focus sizes according to the IEC 60336:2020 standard.

Key features and benefits

• Five variants available with different pinhole diameters: 0.010 mm, 0.030 mm, 0.075 mm and 0.100 mm.

• Diaphragm made of 90:10 gold-platinum alloy – ensures high precision and minimal deformation over time.

• Compatible with frame and mounting screw for use with PRO-Stand (optional) – provides repeatable test setups.

• Meets multiple standards: IEC 60336:2020, IEC 61223-3-1/2/4, EN 12543-2 :2008.

Technical specifications

• Diaphragm dimensions: Ø 5 mm × 1.5 mm.

• Pinhole diameters:
  0.010 mm – for focus sizes from approximately 0.10 mm to 0.50 mm
  0.030 mm – for focus sizes below approximately 1.0 mm
  0.075 mm – for focus sizes from approximately 1.0 to 2.5 mm
  0.100 mm – for focus sizes above approximately 2.5 mm

• Material: Gold-platinum alloy for pinhole; robust frame (stainless steel) for mounting.

• Certification: CE certified.

Areas of application

• Measurement and documentation of X-ray focus (focal spot) in NDT systems to ensure that image quality and sharpness are within specifications.

• Verification and quality assurance of X-ray devices in industrial inspection (welding, component, material control).

• Routine testing and calibration in maintenance programs where repeatable, traceable and documentable measurement methodology is required.
