°Ä²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û’s radiographic testing and inspection laboratories have the latest technologies to provide radiographic testing for the Aerospace, Energy, and Power Generation Sectors. 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 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.
Advantages of radiographic testing
The advantages of using radiography inspection as your chosen non-destructive testing method.
- Ability to inspect assembled components
- Requires minimum surface preparation
- Detects both subsurface and surface defects
- Provides a permanent film record of testing
- Verifies internal flaws in complex structures
- Conducted by highly trained, certified experts
Radiographic inspection methods
Our industry-leading radiographic testing and inspection capabilities include a range of traditional and more advanced digital methods of radiographic inspection:
- Conventional Radiography: °Ä²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û’s radiographic inspection staff are certified to ASNT Central Certification Program (ACCP), PCN (ISO 9712 compliant), EN 4179 and NAS 410. Our Level II and Level III technicians can perform conventional film radiography, a portable method which is capable of revealing the most microscopic cracks in metallic materials through metallurgical testing.
- Close Proximity Radiography (CPR): In addition to conventional and digital radiography, °Ä²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û offers Close Proximity Radiography (CPR). The CPR system, also known as “Small Controlled Area Radiography” (SCAR), has been develo
