ASTM E803 is the standard test method for determining the effective collimation (L/D) ratio of neutron radiography beams. The L/D ratio of neutron radiography beams is measured using an empirical technique defined in ASTM E803. The method is based on examining a neutron radiography image and is unaffected by measurements and calculations based on the collimation system’s physical dimensions. The values expressed in SI units should be considered standard.
ASTM E803 Standard Test Method for Determining the L/D Ratio of Neutron Radiography Beams
What is ASTM E803?
What is the Scope of ASTM E803?
The standard test method, L/D Ratio of Neutron Radiography Beams ASTM E803, defines an empirical technique for the measurement of the effective collimation ratio and is used to determine and periodically measure the actual collimation ratio. By using ASTM E803, neutron beamlines with cold or heat neutron spectra are tested. For this test method, neutron pictures can be created on radiographic film using a conversion screen described in Guide E748, or on a CR screen with a neutron converter.
ASTM E803 Equipment and Sample Preparation Guide
In ASTM E803, the NU device is used, which consists of cadmium rods that are placed in V-grooves on the surface of an aluminum channel section that has been precisely cut.
ASTM E803 Testing Procedures and Requirements
In the ASTM E803 test, the NU (no umbra) approach is used to determine the neutron beam L/D ratio by radiographing the NU device with the neutron beam to be measured and then evaluating the resulting image using one of three methods. All three methods are dependent on determining the point at which the umbral shadow width reaches zero.
ASTM E803 Analysis Results and Interpretation
In ASTM E803, the specific image capture technique employed shall be reported, including the digitization process if film images are digitized, the calculation method(s), and the L/D ratio(s). The standard test method, L/D Ratio of Neutron Radiography Beams ASTM E803, is used to determine and periodically measure the actual collimation ratio.
