About the course

Radiography is a Non Destructive Testing carried out using X-ray generators or artificial gamma sources. X-rays or gamma rays pass through the object to be radiographed and record an image on a radiographic film, placed on the opposite side. The quality and amount of radiation reaching the film will be largely determined by the objects thickness and density, e.g. a crack in a weld will increase the amount of radiation falling on the film in that area due to a reduction in thickness. When the film is processed a negative is produced. The thin areas of an object will be darker than the thicker areas, therefore most weld defects will show up dark in relation to the surrounding areas. Radiography Course contains the Basic Radiation Safety (BRS), the Radiographic Interpretation (RI) and Radiographic Testing (RT). Radiography can be used for inspection of welds, castings and wrought materials, in metallic and non metallic materials.

ABOUT

NDT RT Method

In industry, employees with great experience and sound production know-how (e.g. welding or foundry technical staff) often evaluate X-ray films without having to record radiographic images on their own. The ability of this group of people to evaluate films can be certified in the form of a limited RT certificate based on EN ISO 9712 (EN 473). The training course consists of film evaluation and film recording. If the candidate attends both parts of the course and passes the examination, an RI (RT certificate restricted to film evaluation) and according to EN ISO 9712 (EN 473) can be issued.

NDT Method - Radiographic Testing

ABOUT

NDT Method - Radiographic Testing

Using this filmless radiography you can carry out radiographic testing without loosing time in the chemical development processes. The X-ray film is replaced by detectors. The images can be archived digitally and processed further. Possibilities of image processing and the use of different filters offer several possibilities to present test results in the best way. In this training course you will learn about and how to use this new technique.
