Image Quality Indicators (I.Q.Is) - Penetrameters
RADIOGRAPHY: Accessories
EN 462-1:1994 Wire Type were introduced as a EURO PEAN STANDARD to supersede the German Standards Institute (DIN 54.109) and the British
Standards Institute (BS3971:1980 type 1) Image Q uality Indicators. Each indicator consists of a series of seven parallel wires of different thicknesses
mounted and encapsulated between two thin sheets of transparent, flexible PVC. A lead monogram indicates the number of the thickest wire, the
material and the EN symbol.

Indicator Sizes:
There are four sizes of EN Image Q uality Indicators.
Size 1 contains wire numbers 1 to 7 and used for material
thicknesses in the range of 40 to 160mm
Size 6 contains wire numbers 6 to 12 and used for material
thicknesses in the range of 12.5 to 50mm
Size 10 contains wire numbers 10 to 16 and used for material
thicknesses in the range of 5 to 20mm
Size 13 contains wire numbers 13 to 19 and used for material
thicknesses in the range 2.5 to 10mm
All sizes are available in Steel (Fe), Aluminium (Al), and Copper (Cu.) Titanium (Ti) Image Q uality Indicators are only available in sizes 10 and 13.
As an illustration the identification (i.e. lead monogram) for, say Size 1 (Wire numbers 1 to 7) in steel (Fe) would be 1 FE EN
All EN Image Quality Indicators are individually numbered and supplied with a Certificate of Conformity, with or without wallets. (Please specify)

DIN 54 109 Wire Type Image Q uality Indicators are similar to the
EN 462-1:1994 I.Q.Is, the wire diameters are the same, and there
are the same wire numbers in each size of Indicator. The only difference
being that the lead monogram reads DIN rather than EN.
Example; Size 1 (Wire numbers 1 to 7) in Steel (Fe) would be 1 FE DIN.
DIN 54 109 Wire Type Image Q uality Indicators are only available in Steel
(Fe), Aluminium (Al) and Copper (Cu) but can be supplied with either
10mm, 25mm or 50mm long wires.
All indicators have a serial number for Q uality Assurance purposes,
from which can be traced to the measured wire diameters and date of
manufacture.
A Certificate of Conformity is optionally available at additional cost.
ASTM E747-84a / ASME SE747-97a wire type
penetrameters consists of a series of six parallel wires of different
thicknesses, 25 or 50mm long, encapsulated between two thin sheets of
transparent, flexible PVC. Lead characters identify the thickness of the
thickest wire, and the material group. The letters ASTM are also included.
Sets A, B and C are available with wires either 25 or 50mm long.
Set D is only available with wires 50mm long
A Certificate of Conformity is available for each of the
above Wire Type I.Q.I.s.
