A non-destructive testing method that uses ionizing radiation to examine the internal condition of materials and welded joints.
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to detect internal discontinuities, defects and variations within materials, welds and manufactured components. The resulting radiographic images enable qualified personnel to evaluate internal integrity without damaging the test object.
Radiographic Testing provides non-destructive examination of the internal condition of materials and welded components using ionizing radiation.
Radiographic Testing is widely used to examine weld quality and internal defects in accordance with applicable engineering codes, standards and project specifications.
Radiographic Testing is the inspection method itself, whereas 100% Radiographic Testing specifies the extent of inspection coverage required for a particular application.
