Industrial radiography is used for a variety of applications but is commonly
performed using two different sources of radiation, X-Ray and Gamma ray
sources. The choice of radiation sources and their strength depends on a
variety of factors including size of the component and the material
thickness. Within the broad group of X-Ray and Gamma ray sources are a
variety of camera choices with varying radiation strengths. PERFECT TEST
HOUSE X-Ray capabilities run the gamut from 4 MEV units utilized to
radiograph extremely large and thick castings and forgings, to portable
X-Ray cameras used for field weld applications and thin wall material
inspection. Gamma sources vary from very low level fluoroscopic units to
perform real time corrosion under insulation surveys, to Iridium (Ir192) and
Selenium (Se 75) sources used for a variety of weld inspections, to Cobalt
(Co 60) inspections for thick component testing.
There are many advantages to radiography including: inspection of a wide
variety of material types with varying density, ability to inspect assembled
components, minimum surface preparation required, sensitivity to changes in
thickness corrosion, voids, cracks and material density changes, the ability
to detect both surface and subsurface defects and the ability to provide a
permanent record of the inspection. The disadvantages of radiography are:
safety precautions are required for the safe use of radiation, access to
both sides of the specimen are required, orientation of the sample is
critical, and determining flaw depth is impossible without additional angled
exposures.
