Abstract
Radiological, structural, and physical properties of an x-ray oil which absorbed a photon dose of approximately 2.0 ± 0.2 Gy during its operational life (∼10 years), were investigated. An attenuation coefficient of 0.198 ± 0.003 cm−1 (at 122 keV) was obtained. NMR, ESR, and FTIR spectroscopy suggest a preponderance of pentane, and hexane. Mass spectrometry detected tertrapentacontane, nonadecane, and docosane. No gamma-emitters were revealed with gamma spectroscopy. A boiling temperature of approximately 300 °C was measured. Microscopy revealed the presence of gas bubbles.
