Lead Product X-Ray Radiation Shielding Lead Glass For CT Room
Installation
Lead glass is effective for x-ray shielding and for other forms of
radiation shielding due to the attenuation
of ionizing photons as a result of lead’s high atomic number.
The attenuation of radiation increases as the mass density of the
attenuating material increases,
and also increases dramatically as the energies of the ionizing
photons decrease.
X-rays used in medicine, specifically diagnostic x rays, often have
lower energies on the ionizing radiation spectrum,
and are easily shielded by leaded glass. The lead glass used in
windows often contains lead that creates an attenuation
equivalent 3mm of pure lead.
Lead Glass is used when a clear view and radiation shielding is of
absolute priority in diagnostic, therapy,
isotopic or nuclear radiation sources – used for medical treatment,
imaging, testing, inspection, experimentation or energy production.
Typical uses for Lead Glass and X-ray glass include the following:
Medical applications
Viewing windows and insulating glazing for X-Ray rooms
Screens for medical diagnostics – providing protection for doctors
and technicians with no reduction in the quality of the
observations
Industrial and Nuclear applications
Protection windows in laboratories, radioactive storage stations,
nuclear fuel development plants and reprocessing plants
Lenses for safety goggles and protective screens for radiation
testing equipment and for electron beam systems and plasma
generators.
Airport security X-Ray glass – provides protection from airport
luggage inspection equipment.

Lead Acryllic
Lead acrylic is made from an acrylic co-polymer resin into which
lead is chemically introduced as a compound. Lead acrylic contains
30% lead by weight and has a constant density of 1.6 gm/cm.
For the same lead equivalent, acrylic/plastic has to be
approximately five times thicker than lead glass – significantly
reducing observation capabilities.
Acrylic shields provide shatter-resistant, versatile mobile
barriers, modular control booths, window panes, and door glazing.
