CK Safety Detectamet metal and X-ray test pieces

Having metal and X-ray detectable products online to avoid contamination is only effective when the actual detection machines are also working to the specified detection levels. Regular testing of these machines is the only way to ensure they are compliant with quality assurance standards; the best way to do this is using metal and X-ray detector test pieces. CK Safety supplies a complete range of test pieces, manufactured by Detectamet.

All test pieces are supplied with a certificate of conformity, with each test piece having a number etched onto its side which relates to this certificate supplied by the bearing manufacturer. “Detectamet” is also etched onto each test piece, and a company name can be added on request. Extra numbers can be etched onto the test pieces if required, to allow for individual identification purposes. Contamination ball bearings for metal and X-ray test pieces are available in a variety of materials such as stainless steel 316, ferrous, non-ferrous, glass, ceramic and wire.

The metal detector test pieces are colour coded for simple visual verification and fitted with a calibrated and certified bearing to ISO9002 and AFBMA Calibration. The test pieces are manufactured from a variety of plastic materials, including acrylic, PVC and polyethylene. They are suitable for use with end-of-line, inline, throat, gravity, pipeline and conveyor metal detectors.

The X-ray detector test pieces are transparent but with highly visible certificate numbers, ball contaminants, sizes and identification. They contain contaminants in sizes from 0.3 to 10 mm. The range includes low-, medium- and high-density materials acting as the medium, combined with test contaminants of varying densities.
