Superior X-Ray Tube Co.

Since 1987, Superior X-Ray Tube Company has been manufacturing quality x-ray tubes. We take pride inour diverse product line which is used in a wide range of applications, including, medical, dental, thicknessgauging, food inspection, bone densitometry, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), and X-Ray Fluorescence

(XRF) Spectroscopy. We have a global customer base including Japan, China, Korea, Europe, Canada, andthe USA.

Superior X-Ray manufactures a wide variety of x-ray tubes with focal spots ranging from 50 microns to 2.8

mm and with operating voltages from 35kV up to 130 kV using standard tungsten target material. All of ourtubes come with a 15 month pro-rated warranty covering defects due to materials or workmanship when

used within the tubes specified operating limits.

Other target materials and custom tube designs are available in minimum order sizes of 100 pieces. Pleasecontact us to discuss custom designs.

We would be happy to assist you in meeting your current and future x-ray tube needs. Our companyinformation is as follows:

Customer Tube Request

In order to select an x-ray tube that will work properly in your application, please provide us with as much

information as possible.

kVp: _____________What peak or continuous voltage will be applied to the tube?

Generator Type: _____________

Self-Rectified, Full Wave Rectified, or Constant Potential (DC)

Tube Operation: _____________Will the voltage be applied to (1) the anode with the cathode cup grounded, or (2) the cathode cup with the anod

grounded, or (3) bipolar operation with ½ the voltage on the anode and ½ the voltage on the cathode?

mA: _____________

What is the maximum tube current at kVp ?

Duty Cycle: _____________ (On Time) _____________ (Off Time)

What is the exposure time (i.e. time the tube is on) and the time between exposures?

Focal Spot: _____________What is the desired focal spot size?

Anode Target Angle: _____________

Desired X-ray Beam Coverage Area: _____________When the x-ray beam reaches the person/object under study, the area receiving x-ray energy is referred to as the

“coverage area”. The angle of the anode and the distance from the tube target to the person/object determines thmaximum x-ray tube coverage. The coverage may be reduced by filters or collimators inside the x-ray tube head

Tube Cooling Method: ____________________________________________

Oil, Air, Silicone Insulating Material, etc.?Sealed or open oil bath?

Any additional forced cooling (fins, radiators, heat exchangers)?

Physical Tube Constraints: _________________________________________Please detail any constraints on the physical dimensions of the tube.

Type of Application: ______________________________________________

Dental, Medical, Industrial?

Other Requirements (For example, do you require a shield, flange, lead wires, or special anode/cathodebasing?): __________________________________________________________________________________
