Radiography Testing (RT)

Radiography testing (RT) is a non-destructive method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to create images of the inside of an object: How it worksAn X-ray generator produces a beam of X-rays that passes through the object. The X-rays that pass through are captured by a detector, which creates a two-dimensional image of the object's internal structures. What it's used forRT is used in many industries to inspect components for defects, such as cracks, slag, and porosity. It's also used in medicine to diagnose and treat patients by imaging the inside of the body. AdvantagesRT has several advantages, including:It can detect internal defects in thick materials, like pipelines. It requires little or no preparation of the part being inspected. The images created by RT can be reviewed by multiple operators, which minimizes the chance of misinterpreting results. SafetyRT involves the use of ionizing radiation, which can be dangerous to humans. To ensure safety, RT is often performed in concrete bunkers or on location with a safe perimeter around the inspection zone. ...
