Abstract
Broad beam geometry was used to measure the x-ray transmission properties of gypsum wallboard, steel, plate glass, and concrete for x-ray tube potentials of 50–125 kVp using an x-ray generator having a three-phase, twelve-pulse waveform and total initial beam filtration sufficient to provide half value layers representative of those found in common practice and required by regulatory agencies. Measurement results are presented graphically and as numerical fits to a mathematical model of broad beam transmission to permit their use in the design of protective barriers for medical diagnostic x-ray facilities.
