Computed Radiography (CR)
Computed Radiography (CR) is an advanced radiographic technique that uses a reusable imaging plate to capture radiographic information, which is subsequently processed digitally
Quality examination, radiation safety, proper image evaluation & traceable reporting
CR provides an alternative to conventional film radiography and allows radiographic images to be processed, reviewed and stored in a digital format.
At KLASIC Oil Inspection Services Limited, Computed Radiography can support clients requiring detailed radiographic examination of suitable welds and components while benefiting from digital image management.
APPLICATIONS
CR can be applied, where suitable, to the examination of:
- Pipeline welds
- Process piping
- Pressure vessels
- Fabricated equipment
- Structural welds
- Pressure-containing components
- Other suitable components
WHAT CR CAN REVEAL
Radiographic examination can provide information about internal discontinuities associated with conditions such as:
- Porosity
- Slag inclusions
- Lack of penetration
- Lack of fusion
- Cracks
- Other relevant internal indications
WHY COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY?
CR combines the established principles of radiographic testing with digital image processing and storage.
This provides benefits in areas such as:
Digital image storage
Image review and processing
Improved record management
Ease of retrieval
Digital reporting support
The actual inspection capability and sensitivity depend on the component, material, thickness, technique and system configuration.
