Applications
The Sentry series source projectors are used for industrial non-destructive testing applications of gamma radiagraphy requiring a high intensity Cobalt-60 source. Cobalt-60 is used to inspect materials with approximate thicknesses of 50 to 200[mm] of Steel, 40 to 190[mm] of light alloys and 200-1000mm of concrete. A few examples of Cobalt-60 radiography applications are weld qualification, steel and alloy casting inspection, concrete inspection and informational radiography.
► Weld Qualification
► Steel and Alloy Casting Inspection
► Concrete Inspection
► Informational Radiography
Exposure Device
The Sentinel Sentry Models 110 and 330 are mobile industrial radiography exposure devices for use in the field. The Sentry 110 and 330 incorporate a depleted uranium (DU) shield with an "S" tube design contained within a welded stainless steel cylinder. These devices have an automatic securing mechanism (Posilok System) to lock the source assembly into the locked and shielded position after full retraction. Both devices include a handling rib assembly that helps to facilitate lifting and increases the ease of movement of the device. A key safety feature is that both the Posilok locking assembly and front port cover are protected by stainless steel tube extensions that are welded into the main body of device.
The rear plate port weldment is designed to provide easy access to the locking mechanism and source assembly connenctor for connection of the Sentinel control assembly. The front plate port weldment is designed to provide easy acces to the outlet port for the connection of the guide tube with bayonet assembly.
The stainless steel housing containing the depleted uranium (DU) shield, locking mechanism, outlet port, protective covers are required labels comprise the radioactive material device which also serves as a Type B(U) transport package.
Accesories
The Setry series exposure devices are designed, manufactured and approved for use with Sentinel authorized controls and guide tubes.
Source Guide Tube Interface
Sentry 110: Sentinel guide tubes are 2.1 [m] in length and can be ordered with fixed stop or as extension. Extreme condition guide tubes are available and are rated for -60[deg C] to +135 [deg C]. Other lengths are available upon request so please contact Sentinel Customer Service for more information.
Sentry 330: the Sentinel source guide tubes for the model Sentry 330 have a larger diameter to facilitate the movement of the source assembly (Model A424-13) through the guide tubes. The source guide tubes are 2.1[m] in length and can be ordered with a fixed stop or as an extension. Other lengths are available upon request so please contact Sentinel Customer Service for more information.
Control Assembly Interface
The new Sentinel Extreme Condition Control Assembly can be operated with both the Sentry 110 and the Sentry 330 exposure devices. Standard lengths of the control assemblies are 7.6[m], 10.7[m] and 15[m]. Please reference ALARA Principles suggested in the Sentry Operations Manual (MAN-038) regarding control assemblies.
