The requirement to perform radiographic testing on the entire specified length or volume of a weld or component.
100% Radiographic Testing is an inspection requirement specifying that radiographic testing (RT) is performed on the full extent of the designated welds, joints or components rather than on a representative sample. It is typically specified for critical equipment where complete volumetric examination is required to verify weld quality and compliance with applicable engineering codes and project specifications.
100% Radiographic Testing requires complete radiographic examination of specified welds or components to verify their internal integrity.
The requirement for 100% Radiographic Testing is determined by applicable design codes, project specifications or risk-based engineering decisions and should not be interpreted as guaranteeing the absence of defects.
100% Radiographic Testing defines the required inspection coverage, whereas Radiographic Testing describes the inspection method itself.
