Radiographic Testing (RT), also known as X-ray radiography or radiographic inspection, is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to examine the internal structure and integrity of materials, components, and structures. RT relies on the principle of using ionizing radiation (X-rays or gamma rays) to create images of the object being inspected, revealing hidden flaws, defects, or irregularities. It is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, manufacturing, and the oil and gas sector.
Real-Time Radiography
- Real-time radiography is a powerful NDT and imaging technique with a wide range of applications in various industries. Its real-time nature provides valuable insights into dynamic processes and ensures efficient and timely decision-making in quality control and safety monitoring, it requires specialized equipment and expertise, as well as strict safety measures to protect personnel from ionizing radiation.
Digital Radiography
- In digital radiography, a digital detector or imaging plate captures the X-ray or gamma-ray image, which can be viewed and analyzed electronically. DR offers immediate results and digital image storage.
Conventional Radiography
- In traditional film radiography, X-rays or gamma rays pass through the object being tested and expose a radiographic film placed on the opposite side. The film is then developed to produce a permanent image.
Digitizing Images
- Digitizing images refers to the process of converting analog visual content, such as photographs, radiographic film, printed documents, drawings, or any physical visual representation, into digital format. This process involves using various technologies and equipment to capture and store images electronically. Digitizing images offers several advantages, including ease of storage, sharing, editing, and preservation.
