| The following guidelines will help maintain your apron's safe performance as well ask keep your apron looking great for many years to come. |
1. Inspection
* Please inspect your aprons thoroughly upon receipt and at regular intervals.
* During radiographic inspection you may observe on or all of the following:
| |
- Light spots, small or large, may appear which indicate localised thicker attenuating content particles. |
| |
- Darker shaded areas can appear which usually indicates a thickness variation in the material. If a sharp edge defines the darker area, this may be the result of damage to the apron. This is often caused by stress from the misuse and or improper handling of the apron. (i.e. folding, draping or creasing the apron) |
| |
- A small amount of dark spots pinholing can appear which is inherent to the manufacturing process and as long as there are no dark spots exceeding 5mm in diameter, health physicists have determined they are of no concern. This should not be interpreted as defective manufacturing. There should be concern if you find dark spots or holes larger than 5mm or an area that shows many small spots clumped together. |
| |
- There should be concern if dark lines appear as they usually indicate possible cracks or severe thinning in the material. This is normally caused by one or more plies cracking or deteriorating as a result of excessive mishandling. |
| |
- Please inspect garments for any visible defects in workmanship and notify us immediately if your garment is not satisfactory. |
