Radiographic Testing - NDT Inspection

Radiographic Testing is an NDT examination technique. This method uses radiation (gamma rays or x-rays) to view the internal structures of a component. RT is often used to inspect specialized assemblies such as pressure valves for structural flaws and flux leakage. Moreover, RT can be easily used to inspect weld repairs.

Compared to other testing routines, Radiographic Testing is more convenient as it’s highly reproducible, abundant in material and data collected can be saved for later analysis. RT requires very little surface preparations and is portable. This implies its use in the field where other NDT equipment is rarely used.
