Y3- RD Radiographic kVp Accuracy
For any combination of loading factors, the X-ray tube voltage must not deviate
from the selected value, by more than 10%, the loading time must not deviate
from the selected value by more than (10% + 1 ms), the X-ray tube current, must
not deviate from the selected by more than 20%, and the current-time product
must not deviate from the selected value by more than (10% + 0.2 mAs).

Procedure
The test should be performed over the range of kVp
settings normally used on the particular equipment. For
radiographic and fluoroscopic systems this will usually
be 60 to 120 kVp.
Ensure kVp meter is accurate over the range of kVp’s
and beam filtrations used.

Place meter probe on table top at 100 cm.

Collimate to size of meter

For DR systems move detector out of the beam

On console choose Table Top exposure
