HOW TO MAXIMIZE X-RAY TUBE LIFE ?
Good work practices can significantly prolong tube life.
Recommendations :
Minimize filament boost ("prep") time
Use lower tube current (mA)Follow rating charts and anode heating/cooling curves.Limit operation to 80% of maximum single exposure ratings
Do not exceed anode thermal capacity or dissipation rate of the target
Do not make high mA exposures on a cold targetAvoid long intervals between spot-filmsLimit rotor start/stop operations
