Radiography Testing
At F AND E NDT, we specialize in non-destructive testing methods that go beyond the surface to unveil hidden flaws within materials. Our commitment to excellence in Radiography Testing sets us apart as leaders in the industry. Radiography Testing: This advanced method involves the use of short-wavelength electromagnetic radiation, which consists of high-energy photons, to penetrate various materials. When conducting Radiography Testing, the test piece is carefully positioned between the radiation source and the film (or detector). Through a complex interplay of scattering and absorption processes, the material's density and thickness differences attenuate the penetrating radiation. These variations in absorption are meticulously recorded on film(s).
Radiation Sources: We offer two reliable radioactive sources for industrial use: X-ray and Gamma-ray. These sources utilize higher energy levels, characterized by shorter wavelengths, of electromagnetic waves. It is crucial to emphasize that, due to the radioactivity inherent in radiography testing, strict adherence to Local Rules during operation is of paramount importance to ensure safety and compliance.
Benefits of Radiography Testing:
- 1 Automatic Detection: It can automatically detect and measure internal flaws. Versatility: Radiography Testing can inspect assembled components, making it suitable for various applications. Comprehensive: It detects both surface and subsurface defects. Permanent Record: Radiography Testing provides a permanent record of the inspection results, aiding in documentation and decision-making processes.
- 2 Precise Measurement: Radiography Testing allows for measuring dimensions and angles within the sample without the need for sectioning.
- 3 Sensitivity: It is highly sensitive to changes in thickness, corrosion, flaws, and material density variations.
