Radiography

Radiography

Radiography is a non-destructive testing method that provides information on discontinuities in the volume of the material under test.

An X or gamma ray radioactive source radiation is placed on one side of the part being examined while a film or a digital screen is placed on the other side. The radiation penetrates the tested material and forms a negative image of its structural state on the media. The negative image is developed and interpreted by a qualified interpreter in accordance with standard criteria appropriate to the tested product.

Radiography applications:

• Testing for weld defects in piping, tanks, constructions, etc
• Imaging of concrete elements
• Testing for casting defects
• Testing of printed circuit boards
• Mapping of reduction in wall thickness
• Sorting the chemical composition of substances
• sorting content of foreign matter in food and textiles
