If the gas were released continuously, rather than in bursts, constant flow patterns would be set up from the bottom to the top of the tank and cause uneven development. These flow patterns are not encountered, however, when the gas is introduced in short bursts, with an interval between bursts to allow the solution to settle down. Note that the standard sizes of x-ray developing tanks will probably not be suitable for gaseous burst agitation. Not only does the distributor at the bottom of the tank occupy some space, but also the tank must extend considerably above the surface of the still developer to contain the froth that results when a burst of bubbles reaches the surface. It is therefore probable that special tanks will have to be provided if the system is adopted. Agitation of the developer by means of stirrers or circulating pumps should be discouraged. In any tank containing loaded film hangers, it is almost impossible to prevent the uniform flow of developer along certain paths. Such steady flow conditions may sometimes cause more uneven development than no agitation at all. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang Radiography in Modern Industry. Rochester, NY: Eastman Kodak Co. 1980
♦ Activity of Developer Solutions As a developer is used, its developing power decreases, partly because of the consumption of the developing agent in changing the exposed silver bromide to metallic silver, and also because of the restraining effect of the accumulated reaction products of the development. The extent of this decrease in activity will depend on the number of films processed and their average density. Even when the developer is not used, the activity may decrease slowly because of aerial oxidation of the developing agent. Some compensation must be made for the decrease in developing power if uniform radiographic results are to be obtained over a period of time. The best way to do this is to use the replenisher system, in which the activity of the solution is not allowed to diminish but rather is maintained by suitable chemical replenishment. In reference to the replenisher method or replenishment, the following should be understood. Keypoints: ■ Exhaustion by development action on exposed silver bromide to metallic silver. (question: what is the developing agent action on the unexposed silver bromide?) ■ Aerial oxidation of the developing agent. Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang Radiography in Modern Industry.
