Superior X-Ray Tube Co.

Since 1987, Superior X-Ray Tube Company has been manufacturing quality x-ray tubes. We take pride in
our diverse product line which is used in a wide range of applications, including, medical, dental, thickness
gauging, food inspection, bone densitometry, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), and X-Ray Fluorescence
(XRF) Spectroscopy. We have a global customer base including Japan, China, Korea, Europe, Canada, and
the USA.
Superior X-Ray manufactures a wide variety of x-ray tubes with focal spots ranging from 50 microns to 2.8
mm and with operating voltages from 35kV up to 130 kV using standard tungsten target material. All of our
tubes come with a 15 month pro-rated warranty covering defects due to materials or workmanship when
used within the tubes specified operating limits.
Other target materials and custom tube designs are available in minimum order sizes of 100 pieces. Please
contact us to discuss custom designs.
We would be happy to assist you in meeting your current and future x-ray tube needs. Our company
information is as follows:

Superior X-Ray recommends that tubes be placed into service within 3 months of receipt to ensure maximum
performance. We recommend that older tubes should be re-seasoned before use.

Customer Tube Request
In order to select an x-ray tube that will work properly in your application, please provide us with as much
information as possible.
kVp: _____________
What peak or continuous voltage will be applied to the tube?
Generator Type: _____________
Self-Rectified, Full Wave Rectified, or Constant Potential (DC)
Tube Operation: _____________
Will the voltage be applied to (1) the anode with the cathode cup grounded, or (2) the cathode cup with the anode
grounded, or (3) bipolar operation with the voltage on the anode and the voltage on the cathode?
mA: _____________
What is the maximum tube current at kVp ?
Duty Cycle: _____________ (On Time) _____________ (Off Time)
What is the exposure time (i.e. time the tube is on) and the time between exposures?
Focal Spot: _____________
What is the desired focal spot size?
Anode Target Angle: _____________
Desired X-ray Beam Coverage Area: _____________
When the x-ray beam reaches the person/object under study, the area receiving x-ray energy is referred to as the
coverage area. The angle of the anode and the distance from the tube target to the person/object determines the
maximum x-ray tube coverage. The coverage may be reduced by filters or collimators inside the x-ray tube head.
Tube Cooling Method: ____________________________________________
Oil, Air, Silicone Insulating Material, etc.?
Sealed or open oil bath?
Any additional forced cooling (fins, radiators, heat exchangers)?
Physical Tube Constraints: _________________________________________
Please detail any constraints on the physical dimensions of the tube.
Type of Application: ______________________________________________
Dental, Medical, Industrial?
Other Requirements (For example, do you require a shield, flange, lead wires, or special anode/cathode
basing?):_____________________________________________________________________________________
