Cobalt-60 (Co-60)
About the Product
A long-lived, high-energy gamma isotope used for radiography of very thick or dense materials where deep penetration is required.
Brief Description
Co-60 sources deliver very high-energy gamma radiation, making them suitable for heavy-wall steel, large castings and critical components in power generation and heavy industry. Their longer half-life reduces source replacement frequency compared to Ir-192.
Application notes
• Heavy-wall steel radiography
• Turbine casings and large forgings
• Power plant and heavy engineering components
• Long-path and thick-section inspections
Industry and specifications
High-energy source for >90 mm steel.
• Half-life ~5 years
• High gamma energy for deep penetration
• Used where Ir-192/Se-75 are insufficient for thickness
• Compatible with high-energy projectors such as VOX-type systems
