Radiography inspection services are a crucial part of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) designed to assess the internal structure of materials without causing any damage. This advanced method is widely used in industries such as construction, aerospace, and manufacturing to evaluate the integrity of welds, castings, and other critical components. By utilising X-rays or gamma rays, radiography inspection can show internal discontinuities, defects, or flaws that may not be visible on the surface.
We have become experts in radiography testing and procedures so that we can provide every one of our clients with outstanding services. To consistently deliver top-notch work, we follow PCN level 3 guidelines and procedures. You’ll be happy to hear that we adhere to all governmental and legal requirements. Please note that the radiograph you receive from us is an unchangeable permanent record that you can keep for two decades.
How Does Radiography Inspection Work?
The process begins by positioning the object or weld joint to be inspected under an X-ray set at a 90-degree angle. An X-ray image is then taken, capturing an internal view of the object. This image is commonly recorded on film, which is later developed either manually or automatically in a dark room. After development, the film is analysed using a specialised light viewer to highlight any potential defects within the material.
Once the image is ready for interpretation, a trained radiographer or interpreter examines the film to identify any internal discontinuities, such as cracks, voids, or inclusions. These experts compare the results against established industry standards to determine whether the object or weld meets the necessary criteria. Based on their analysis, the object is accepted or rejected for further use.
