Lead Glass Shielding

Product overview

Ultraray Radiation Protection offers a complete line of lead glass for use in viewing windows, door lites, control booths, mobile barriers, and other shielded assemblies. Our lead glass provides optical clarity while maintaining required radiation shielding performance for medical and industrial applications.

Standard LX-57B X-ray shielding lead glass is available in 1.6 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm lead equivalencies. For PET applications requiring protection from higher-energy gamma radiation, Pro-GR lead glass is available with lead equivalencies exceeding those of LX-57B. For nuclear medicine and nuclear power applications, ultra-high lead content block glass is available in thicknesses up to 9 inches.

All lead glass options are engineered to maintain visibility while supporting radiation protection. Where a complete system is required, Ultraray also supplies lead lined window frames in welded or telescopic configurations. Frames are manufactured from 16-gauge steel and professionally lined with sheet lead matching the specified lead equivalency of the glazing. Lead glass should be selected in coordination with the project physicist and overall shielding design.
