Course details

This course provides an in-depth exploration of Radiographic Testing (RT), a key non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to examine the internal structure of materials and components. Participants will gain a solid understanding of the principles behind RT, including the physics of X-rays and gamma rays. The course emphasizes the safe and effective use of radiographic equipment, ensuring accurate inspections. Students will learn various RT techniques, such as film and digital radiography, and understand their applications in different industries. Practical sessions and demonstrations will reinforce theoretical knowledge, allowing hands-on experience with real inspection scenarios. The program also covers image interpretation and defect evaluation to enhance inspection reliability. Safety protocols, radiation protection, and regulatory compliance are integral components of the training. By combining theory with practice, participants will be prepared to conduct thorough and precise inspections. The course is suitable for NDT professionals, engineers, and technicians seeking specialized skills in radiography. Upon completion, attendees will be equipped to apply RT methods confidently in industrial settings.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're setting up a weld RT on carbon steel pipe and you google "ISO 17636 film density requirement for weld radiography" because the film came out darker than expected. The procedure references ISO 17636-1:2013, but the client now cites the later revision during DFMEA closeout. What drives the acceptable density range in this case?

A: Governing principle: contractual invocation of a standard fixes the technical acceptance basis. Applied here: ISO 17636 density limits exist to bound contrast and noise for defect detectability, and changing editions shifts assumptions on film systems and viewers. Unless the contract or MOC updates the reference, the invoked edition controls. The trap is option B, which appeals to good intent but ignores that acceptance criteria are not retroactive without contract language.

Q: You're calculating exposure and search "RT exposure calculation for 12 mm carbon steel Ir-192" after getting underexposed films. Given 12 mm wall, Ir-192 source with 3.5 TBq activity, source-to-film distance 600 mm, and exposure constant 0.48 mGy·m²/(GBq·s), what exposure time is closest?

A: Governing principle: exposure is proportional to source strength and time, and inversely proportional to distance squared. Applied here: converting 3.5 TBq to 3500 GBq and applying the constant at 0.6 m yields a time on the order of tens of seconds to a couple of minutes, not single digits or many minutes. Option C catches people who overweight thickness without running the math.

Q: You're reviewing field RT images and google "radiography corrosion under insulation wall loss appearance" after seeing irregular thinning. The line is carbon steel, 80°C operating, cyclic wet insulation, no internal corrosion history. What degradation mechanism best explains what RT is showing?

A: Governing principle: environment and temperature control dominant degradation modes. Applied here: wet insulation and moderate temperature favor external CUI, which RT can reveal as uneven wall reduction, while internal mechanisms need different conditions. Option D tempts process engineers who focus on flow but ignore the external moisture driver.

Q: You're choosing an IQI and search "wire IQI selection for weld radiography ISO vs ASTM" because the shop normally uses ASTM wires. The acceptance spec invokes ISO 17636 with a required sensitivity of 2%. What governs the IQI choice?

A: Governing principle: sensitivity metrics are standard-specific and not directly interchangeable. Applied here: ISO and ASTM define IQI performance differently, so using the system tied to the invoked standard is how 2% sensitivity is made meaningful. Option B catches engineers who know what 2% means but forget how each system measures it.
