Abstract
In this paper, the new type X-ray apparatus for stress measurement is described, specially designed to measure the stress of the large unmovable samples.
After the light-weight measuring stand is set to the point to be measured, the X-ray tube head, which is completely balanced in weight for free setting, is fixed to the stand magnetically, so the setting action is very easy compared with a conventional apparatus.
This apparatus can be used as both the photographic method and the G.M. counter method, and the useful scanning diffraction angle 2θ is from 142° to 170° instead of 165° in a conventional one.
Designed to make it fit for use in the field service, the whole unit is mounted on one cart containing the cooling tank for the X-ray tube.
