*This blog is part of a much larger pillar post.If you’re looking at blogs about sand radiation shielding, you’re probably in the market to construct a radiation shielding room.While traditional radiation shielding materials like lead, steel and concrete have been widely used for these rooms, an unconventional and sustainable alternative has emerged in recent years: […]

*This blog is part of a much larger pillar post.Our team of physicists understand the importance of accurately calculating radiation shielding in various industries such as medical, nuclear, and space. In this blog post, we’ll provide an overview of what radiation shielding calculations are, what factors affect them and the methods we use to calculate […]

In simplest terms, modular radiation shielding is exactly that, shielding that can be easily constructed and torn down much faster than traditional radiation vaults. Modular radiation shielding can be utilized in many different industries and applications such as industrial, NDT, and medical. In this post, our team will cover the most frequent reasons our customers choose to […]

Applus+ delivers innovative, cutting-edge technologies and services in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT), inspection, and certification to the capital-intensive, high-risk aerospace industry. Applus+ has NDT and inspection support on thousands of projects with an approach to offer a one-stop solution, covering every phase of a project from initial design through to final inspection with […]

If you’re not experienced in the implementation of radiation shielding rooms for your industry, trying to navigate how to construct a radiation shielded room can be difficult. As somebody who might work in the NDT, medical or academic field, you may not be familiar with all of the challenges associated with radiation protection, and that’s […]

*This blog is part of a much larger pillar post. Veterinary clinics traditionally use LINAC machines (linear accelerators) to treat animals with radiation therapy for cancer. These treatments are done one to three times per week on average for several weeks. The ability to offer these services on-site is beneficial for veterinary clinics and their […]

Radiation machines used for industrial application come in a range of different power levels and are sized based on the product being inspected. As time goes on, the product being inspected can change, or a new product may be introduced, making the current machine unable to properly inspect the product to the new specifications; so, […]

At Matter Fabs, we provide safety solutions for nondestructive testing (NDT) using radiographic testing (RT) for a variety of industries. NDT using RT is the process of inspecting and evaluating components like casting, welds, and vessels for any problems or differences in design intent characteristics without destroying the part. The components’ entire material can be […]

At Matter Fabs, we are committed to providing cost-effective and eco-friendly radiation shielding solutions to LMIC. LMIC stands for Low-Middle Income Countries, and these countries have a gross national income of less then $12,235 per person (also known as “developing countries”). After doing some research, we found, alarmingly, that the rate of cancer diagnoses and […]

Non-destructive testing (NDT) companies sometimes find themselves restricted when wanting to add a larger KV or MV testing vault to an existing facility because they do not own the building. These larger NDT vaults become a permanent part of the building. When renting or leasing the building, the building owner generally prohibits companies from adding […]
