Radiography NDT Courses
About Radiography Inspection
Radiography inspection utilises ionising radiation and radiosensitive film to locate flaws within components. The exposure to the radiation causes a latent image on the film, which requires development to become a visible permanent image. This method allows different types of materials to be tested with high degree of sensitivity, with advances in computerised radiography further improving this inspection.
This course enables you to describe the principles of industrial radiography radiation safety, including a detailed description of the hazards and safety procedures that must be applied when using X-ray and gamma ray equipment and select and use relevant equipment.
