IRIDIUM-192 INDUSTRIAL RADIOISOTOPES

SENTINEL™ Iridium-192 Industrial Radioisotopes.

QSA Global, Inc. is the world-leading supplier of SENTINEL Iridium-192 (Ir-192) sealed radioisotope sources to the industrial gamma radiography industry. Our exclusive and diversified supply chain ensures a reliable, long-term supply of SENTINEL Ir-192 to our customers.

Our SENTINEL Ir-192 radioisotope sources are available up to 240 Ci (8.88 TBq) activity. Custom activities may be ordered to meet your specific application needs. 

QSA Global, Inc.’s SENTINEL Ir-192 radioisotope sources are double-encapsulated and laser welded for superior quality and safety. Natural and enriched Iridium-192 sources are constructed using iridium metal discs or pellets of uniform size in a welded stainless steel capsule.  Utilizing enriched Ir-192 produces smaller focal sizes for optimum image quality. 

SENTINEL Ir-192 is designated for use within the steel thickness range of  0.39 in-3.54 in (10 mm-90 mm) per ISO 5579:2013.


SENTINEL Ir-192 in Gamma Radiography

Iridium is also used throughout the industrial radiography industry to detect structural damage to metal parts. QSA Global, Inc.’s SENTINEL Ir-192 radioisotope sources are used to perform industrial gamma radiography on materials such as castings, forgings, and weld defects.
