What is the maximum particle size that should pass through the water filters in the QC program?

The maximum particle size that should pass through the water filters in the Quality Control (QC) program is 25 microns. This specification is crucial because maintaining proper filtration is essential to avoid any blockage or interference in systems that depend on clean water for their operations. Particles larger than this size can lead to issues such as equipment fouling, reduced efficiency, and potential downtime, all of which can compromise the integrity of radiography processes.

By setting the filter specification at 25 microns, it ensures that contaminants of significant size are removed, thus allowing for optimal functioning of imaging systems and protecting sensitive components from damage. This standard helps enhance the quality of radiographic images while also safeguarding the health and safety of personnel involved in radiography operations.
