Radiographic Testing (RT)
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a Non-Destructive Testing technique used to examine the internal condition of components by using penetrating radiation to produce an image of the material.
Imaging the Internal Condition of Components
At KLASIC Oil Inspection Services Limited, radiographic inspection can support the examination of welds and other suitable components where internal imaging is required.
WHAT RT PROVIDES
Radiography can provide an image that assists in identifying internal discontinuities and variations in material density.
It is commonly applied to welded joints where the inspection objective requires assessment of internal weld quality.
APPLICATIONS
Radiographic Testing can support inspection of:
- Pipeline welds
- Process piping
- Pressure vessels
- Fabricated components
- Storage equipment
- Structural welds
- Pressure-containing components
POTENTIAL INDICATIONS
Depending on the component, technique and inspection conditions, radiography may identify indications associated with:
- Porosity
- Slag inclusions
- Lack of penetration
- Lack of fusion
- Cracks
- Other internal discontinuities
SAFETY IS FUNDAMENTAL
Radiographic inspection involves ionizing radiation and therefore requires strict control of the inspection area and adherence to applicable radiation safety requirements.
At KLASIC, safety considerations form an integral part of the planning and execution of radiographic inspection activities.
Where conventional film-based radiography is not the preferred option, Digital Radiography (DR) can also be considered where appropriate.
WHY KLASIC?
We approach radiographic inspection with emphasis on technical quality, inspection control, safety and reliable documentation.
Our objective is to provide clients with dependable information that can support fabrication quality, weld acceptance and asset integrity decisions.
KLASIC Oil Inspection Services Limited — Excellence in Safety.
