Our global experts advise on the most suitable testing methods to make certain your materials and products are fit for purpose.
What is radiographic testing?
Radiographic testing (RT) is one of the most popular non-destructive testing methods used to detect defects in a wide range of products. It uses x-rays or gamma rays to identify flaws in weld quality, castings, structures, and composites. It is used predominantly in the fabricating and casting industries for quality control, where it reveals faults such as porosity, inclusions, and cracks.
Radiographic inspection uses an isotope or an x-ray tube to create an image. Volumetric inspection detects defects which are not open to the surface, and which may not otherwise be detectable.
Radiographic inspection methods
Our industry leading radiographic testing and inspection expertise encompass a spectrum of both x-Ray and Isotope inspection to meet your needs.
Traditional Radiography
Our team at ND Testing, Inc. holds certifications in line with ASNT-TC-1A and NAS 410 standards. With Level II and Level III technicians, we execute conventional film radiography, a portable methodology proficient in unveiling even the most minute cracks within metallic and no metalic materials through meticulous examination.
