10、elevision system. F5384. Summary of Practice4.1 The pie disk is a rubber-cord composite that is used asthe subject in an X-ray imaging system. Each of the sixsections of the disk has a different cord material which,together, represent the cords commonly used in vehicle tires.The X-ray absorption of
11、these cords range from very nearly thesame as that of the rubber matrix to quite different from it.4.2 The rubber-cord pie disk shall be placed between theX-ray tube and the X-ray image plane at a specified distancefrom the image plane (see Fig. 1). The ambient conditions arecontrolled or monitored,
12、 and recorded.4.3 The image of the disk on a fluorescent screen orphotograph can be studied for clarity of detail for each cordmaterial. The voltage and current of the X-ray high voltagegenerator shall be adjusted for optimum detail and contrastsensitivity to view all cord materials simultaneously.5
13、. Significance and Use5.1 All X-ray systems are subject to changing efficiencies,so a practice for checking the overall operation is needed.

16、nambient conditions are controlled and the X-ray high voltagegenerator is adjusted as prescribed.5.2 The densities of some tire cord materials are very closeto that of the rubber matrix in which they are enclosed, so theresolving capability of an X-ray system is critical to thedetection of abnormali

The rubber-cord pie disk provides ameans for optimizing the resolving power in a particularapparatus and for comparing its performance over any periodof time.5.3 The rubber-cord pie disk can be used to compare theperformances of X-ray systems in different laboratories. It canalso be used in sp
18、ecial cases to optimize system performancefor a particular sector or cord-type, as may be required forexamining a specific tire.6. Preparation of Rubber-Cord Pie Disk36.1 Composition:6.1.1 The disk shall have six equal-size sectors of rubber-cord composite, as given in Fig. 2. The rubber portion of
