(cA-1004R4IMPORTANT NOTE
FOR X-RAY TUBE SEASONING
The seasoning procedure should be carried out to assure a correct operation of the
X-ray Tube when it is putting into operation for the first time (new X-ray Tubes). This
action establishes a favorable distribution of the electrical charges and electrostatic
stresses in the insulation system of the tube and the associated equipment.
Included in each X-ray Tube, the manutacturer gives the instructions to pertorm the
Tube seasoning. {tis mandatory to follow these instructions, calibrating previously
the combinations of kV / mA stations required for carrying out the seasoning
procedure. (Refer to Calibration document for calibration of kV/mA combinations).
A correct seasoning will assure the most accurate calibration of the Generator
(Filament Current Numbers) and a subsequent trouble-free operation.
