Radiographic Testing
Radiographic Testing is a well established NDT method which uses Gamma or X rays to produce the image of a material onto a photgraphic film. Radiography provides quality, cost effective and permanent record with high volume capabilities due to simple operation and portability.
Applications include wall loss detection (profile radiography) and sizing in pipes and plate through to manufacturing defects in welds, forgings castings etc.
Commonly used radioactive isotopes include Iridium 192, Cobalt 60 and Selenium 75.
