We supply transparent lead glass, custom-made to client specifications, for shielding against X-rays and gamma radiation.
Lead glass is a type of glass in which part of the calcium oxide is replaced by lead oxide in its composition. The purpose of installing lead glass is to protect operators of X-ray equipment while allowing them to maintain visual contact with the installation during operation.
Lead glass windows are used in hospitals, laboratories and non-destructive testing facilities, among others. Our lead glass provides high shielding efficiency, clear optical transmission and does not discolour when exposed to radiation.
Our standard lead glass has a thickness equivalent to 2.1 mm of lead (Pb) at an X-ray energy of 150 kV. It can be supplied in any size up to maximum dimensions of 240 cm × 120 cm.
Glass with other thicknesses and lead equivalence values is also available, up to an equivalence of 5.4 mm Pb (20 mm thickness).
