What should my absolute radiographic exposure time be?
![Table 2-9 Absolute exposure times for steel](/sites/bakerhughes/files/styles/max_650x650/public/2023-08/s79_1_0.jpg?itok=0qUeTosH)
What should my absolute radiographic exposure time be?
Table 2-9, derived from reference [2], lists the widely varying absolute exposure times when different radiation sources are used for radiography on steel of varying thickness. The relative exposure factors from table 1-9 for both types of film can be recognised in this table.
