Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Radiography Test
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of manufactured components in order to identify any flaws or defects.
In radiographic testing, the test object is placed between the radiation source and a film or detector. Differences in material density and thickness will attenuate (i.e., reduce) the penetrating radiation through scattering and/or absorption. These variations in absorption are captured on film or by electronic means to produce an image.
In industrial radiography, there are several imaging techniques available to display the final result, including:
-
Film Radiography
-
Real-Time Radiography (RTR)
-
Computed Tomography (CT)
-
Digital Radiography (DR)
-
Computed Radiography (CR)
