6. Radiography Testing (RI)



Radiography Testing is one of the NDT method in which the test-part is placed between the radiation source and film (or detector). The material density and thickness differences of the test-part will attenuate (i.e., reduce) the penetrating radiation through interaction processes involving scattering and/or absorption.

The differences in absorption are then recorded on film(s) or through an electronic means. In industrial radiography there are several imaging methods available, techniques to display the final image, i.e., Film Radiography, Real Time Radiography (RTR), Computed Tomography (CT), Digital Radiography (DR), and Computed Radiography (CR).The Radiographic Interpretation course only covers the interpretation of the radiograph, therefore is suitable for personnel wishing to only interpret radiographs as opposed to creating radiographs via Radiographic testing.
