X-Ray Exposure Charts<br />

An exposure chart is a graph showing the relation between material thickness,<br />

kilovoltage, and exposure. In its must common form, an exposure chart<br />

resembles Figure 44. These graphs are adequate for determining exposures<br />

in the radiography <strong>of</strong> uniform plates, but they serve only as rough guides for<br />

objects, such as complicated castings, having wide variations <strong>of</strong> thickness.<br />

Exposure charts are usually available from manufacturers <strong>of</strong> x-ray equipment.<br />

Because, in general, such charts cannot be used for different x-ray machines<br />

unless suitable correction factors are applied, individual laboratories<br />

sometimes prepare their own.<br />
