Abstract

Neutron radiography (NR) technique has been adopted to study homogeneity and water absorption behavior of building materials, like double layer silver gray tiles obtained from Concord Real Estate & Building Products, Unit II, Salna, Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Measurements of optical density differences between the film background and radiographic images of the dry/wet samples were used for investigation of the present work. The optical density was measured by using the digital optical densitometer (Model 07-424, S-23285, Victoreen Inc. USA). Large variation in optical density values of the radiographic image was observed. From this observation it shows that the rate of water absorption of the tiles increases with increase of immersion time. Through the investigation of radiographic image and subsequently analyzing the optical density we observed that distribution of the elements in the tiles are inhomogeneous.

Key words: Homogeneity, Water absorption, Silver gray, Neturon radiography.
