<strong>KODAK</strong> <strong>INDUSTREX</strong> <strong>AA400</strong> <strong>Film</strong><br />

<strong>Versatility</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>key</strong>.<br />

<strong>KODAK</strong> <strong>INDUSTREX</strong> <strong>AA400</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>is</strong> extremely versatile, which makes it a<br />

great solution for many industrial applications. You can use it in multiple film<br />

radiography and in single film techniques—and with direct<br />

x-rays or with lead foil screens. Best of all, <strong>AA400</strong> film incorporates Kodak’s<br />

patented T-GRAIN Emulsion Technology (see sidebar).<br />

The basics.<br />

<strong>AA400</strong> <strong>is</strong> an ASTM E 1815-96 Class II film that offers high-speed, highcontrast<br />

film that gives you a fine-grained image. Th<strong>is</strong> film offers incredibly<br />

robust handling character<strong>is</strong>tics. It can withstand high temperatures and<br />

humidity, and it eliminates static artifacts—so you get <strong>the</strong> image you need,<br />

whatever <strong>the</strong> conditions you’re working under.<br />

Recommended uses.<br />

<strong>KODAK</strong> <strong>INDUSTREX</strong> <strong>AA400</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>is</strong> available in a wide range of sizes and<br />

packaging formats, and it’s designed for applications<br />

such as:<br />

—• Aircraft inspection<br />

—• Aero-engines<br />

—• Archeological artifacts<br />

—• Assemblies<br />

—• Castings<br />

—• Concrete<br />

—• Electrical components<br />

—• Forensics<br />

—• Forestry<br />

—• Munitions, bomb d<strong>is</strong>posal<br />

—• Nuclear applications<br />

—• Paintings, sculptures<br />

—• Pipelines<br />

—• Tires<br />

—• Welded fabrication<br />

Get <strong>the</strong> T-GRAIN<br />

Emulsion advantages.<br />

Kodak’s complete range of films with<br />

T-GRAIN Emulsion offer a brandnew,<br />

state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art technology that’s<br />

specifically designed for industrial<br />

radiographic testing applications.<br />

What does that mean for you?<br />

Outstanding image quality. With a cool,<br />

clean image tone and low no<strong>is</strong>e, you get<br />

a sharp, clear image every time.<br />

Convenient processing flexibility. The<br />

films work well in standard process<br />

cycles—but <strong>the</strong>y’re just as effective in<br />

longer or shorter process cycles.<br />

Superb durability. The films are static<br />

res<strong>is</strong>tant, more heat res<strong>is</strong>tant than<br />

conventional systems, incredibly sturdy,<br />

and you’ll get fewer artifacts from handling.<br />

Competitive pricing. Our new line of films<br />

<strong>is</strong> also designed to fit your budget.

<strong>KODAK</strong> <strong>INDUSTREX</strong> AA 400 <strong>Film</strong><br />

Features / Customer Product Specifications<br />

• High speed<br />

• High contrast<br />

• Fine grain<br />

• For use in multiple film radiography and in single film techniques<br />

• Can be used with direct x-rays or with lead foil screens<br />

Available Packaging Formats<br />

Sheet <strong>Film</strong><br />

Interleaved (AA 400-5): Each film <strong>is</strong> supplied individually enclosed in a white folder for extra protection during<br />

handling procedures. For most sizes, <strong>the</strong> unit pack <strong>is</strong> 100 sheets provided as 2 x 50 sheets. The film can be loaded into<br />

metal or plastic cassettes or into exposure holders, with or without lead screens.<br />

Non-Interleaved (AA 400-1): Th<strong>is</strong> form of packaging <strong>is</strong> generally supplied in packs of 100 sheets, and <strong>is</strong> for use when<br />

film <strong>is</strong> to be loaded into metal or plastic cassettes, or exposure holders, with or without lead screens.<br />

Pb Contactpak (AA 400-7): Th<strong>is</strong> pack cons<strong>is</strong>ts of a film sandwiched between two 27-micron thick lead screens sealed<br />

in a light-tight, water-res<strong>is</strong>tant, flexible package. The vacuum inside <strong>the</strong> pack provides superb film/screen contact. A<br />

rip-guide ensures easy opening and film removal after exposure. The film grade <strong>is</strong> identified on <strong>the</strong> rip-guide. In<br />

addition, <strong>the</strong> film <strong>is</strong> embossed on <strong>the</strong> opening side with <strong>the</strong> film grade. An important feature <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> butt edge which<br />

makes posssible accurate positioning in difficult situations where <strong>the</strong> image needs to fall right up to <strong>the</strong> edge of <strong>the</strong><br />

pack. Product in th<strong>is</strong> packaging <strong>is</strong> clean to use, <strong>is</strong> water and oil res<strong>is</strong>tant and <strong>is</strong> instantly available for exposure.<br />

READY-PACK II <strong>Film</strong> (AA 400-2): The films are individually vacuum sealed in a light-tight, water-res<strong>is</strong>tant, flexible<br />

package. The film grade <strong>is</strong> identified on <strong>the</strong> rip-guide and <strong>the</strong> film itself <strong>is</strong> embossed on <strong>the</strong> rip-guide side. The package<br />

has a butt edge which <strong>is</strong> invaluable for accurate positioning in difficult situations where <strong>the</strong> image needs to fall right up<br />

to <strong>the</strong> edge of <strong>the</strong> pack.<br />

Roll <strong>Film</strong><br />

READY-PACK roll (AA 400-381): The film <strong>is</strong> supplied in a long, light-tight roll sandwiched between two yellowblack<br />

paper polye<strong>the</strong>lene layers. The rolls are of 60- or 100-metre lengths in a variety of widths. The film <strong>is</strong> provided in<br />

a d<strong>is</strong>penser box and <strong>is</strong> cut to length by <strong>the</strong> user in a darkroom.<br />

Lead-Pack roll (AA 400-382): The film <strong>is</strong> supplied sandwiched between two 27-micron thick lead screens inside a<br />

long, light-tight paper and polye<strong>the</strong>lene sleeve. The rolls are 100 metres long and are cut to length by <strong>the</strong> user in a<br />

darkroom.<br />

NIF bulk roll (AA 400-359): The film <strong>is</strong> supplied on a cardboard core in rolls 150 metres long in three widths: 60 mm,<br />

70 mm and 100 mm. The film must be loaded into a cassette in a darkroom.<br />

Safelight Recommendations<br />

Use a red safelight filter (i.e. <strong>KODAK</strong> 1, 1A, or 2 Safelight Filter) in a suitable safelight lamp equipped with a 15-watt<br />

bulb. Keep <strong>the</strong> film at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from <strong>the</strong> safelight.


Instruction Sheet—2 Copyright, Eastman Kodak Company, 2004<br />

TI2294 Rev<strong>is</strong>ed 2-04<br />

Note: O<strong>the</strong>r safelight filters (i.e. <strong>KODAK</strong> 6B, 8, and GBX-2 Safelight Filter) which block radiation at 550nm and<br />

shorter wavelengths are also suitable for use.<br />

Storage and Handling<br />

Unexposed:<br />

Exposed:<br />

Processed:<br />

50 to 70°F (10 to 21°C), 30 to 50% RH. Properly shield from x-rays,<br />

gamma rays, or o<strong>the</strong>r penetrating radiation.<br />

Keep cool, dry, and properly shielded from penetrating radiation.<br />

Process as soon as possible after exposure.<br />

(60 to 80°F) 15 to 27° C, 30 to 50% RH.<br />

Handle film carefully to avoid physical strains such as pressure, creasing, or buckling.<br />

It <strong>is</strong> important to realize that meeting <strong>the</strong> chemical and physical requirements does not by itself ensure that records will<br />

not deteriorate. It <strong>is</strong> essential to provide proper storage conditions. ANSI IT9.2-1988 and ANSI PH1.43-1985 give<br />

details of storage conditions.<br />
