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.
