Max. weight dimensions A good, clear view SCHOTT RD 30® is drawn, clear flat glass that contains lead and is used as radiation shielding glass. It has the usual surface traits of drawn glass. Not only for use in mammography RD 30® was developed especially for use in mammography workstations with weak X-rays (a lead equivalent of 0.5 mm Pb at 56 kV is commonly used here). Nevertheless, RD 30® also has a lead equivalent of 0.5 mm Pb at a higher tube voltage (up to 150 kV) and can therefore also be used in workplaces for material testing and at all other workplaces with weak X-ray radiation. To ensure safe handling of the glass, we recommend that you follow our "Instructions on Installing, Cleaning and Caring for Radiation Shielding Glass."
