Radiographic Testing (RT) Services

Principle & Testing Methodology

Radiographic Testing uses differential absorption of penetrating ionizing radiation (X-rays or Gamma-rays from Ir-192 / Co-60 sources) directed through the test object onto high-contrast radiographic film or digital detector arrays. Variations in material thickness or density caused by internal flaws produce contrasting image densities for evaluation.

Defects & Discontinuities Detected

  • Lack of root penetration (LOP) and lack of fusion (LOF)
  • Internal slag inclusions and tungsten entrapment
  • Volumetric porosity clusters and wormhole piping
  • Root concavity and burn-through
  • Internal casting shrinkage and gas voids

Typical Industrial Applications & Components

  • High-pressure process piping cross-country pipelines
  • Boiler steam drum longitudinal and circumferential seams
  • Pressure vessel category A and B weld joints
  • High-integrity valve bodies and turbine pump castings

Applicable Materials

Carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys, and heavy casting sections.

Technical Specifications

Applicable Codes & Standards:
