Observation windows help operators maintain visual contact with examination areas from a separate control space. X-ray shielding lead glass forms the transparent section of this protective barrier.
When specifying a panel, consider the viewing area, frame design and required radiation attenuation together. The selected glass must match the approved shielding requirements of the project.
Every window layout has its own dimensional requirements. Custom lead glass can be specified around the proposed panel size and installation details.
Provide the overall glass dimensions and, where available, a frame drawing showing the clear viewing opening. This helps clarify the required panel size before the order is confirmed.
Glass thickness should be selected using the relevant shielding performance data, rather than the window dimensions alone.

Suitability must be checked against the radiation conditions and the design of the complete window assembly.
No. Glass thickness is the physical depth of the panel. Lead equivalence describes its radiation attenuation compared with lead under specified test conditions. Both should be identified when selecting the glass.
Yes. Send the required width, height and quantity, together with a drawing if available. Available dimensions must be confirmed for the selected glass specification.
Please provide the panel dimensions, quantity, required lead equivalence, applicable X-ray tube voltage or beam quality, and delivery destination. Include the project specification or frame drawing where available.
Room type provides useful context, but it does not define the required shielding performance. Use the project's approved radiation shielding specification to identify the appropriate glass.
