Understanding the technique
Uses penetrating radiation and an imaging system to reveal changes in material thickness and internal discontinuities. The brochure includes conventional radiography, computed radiography, SCAR and digital radiographic techniques.
Where it adds value
Welds, fabricated components and suitable in-service examination scopes.
The purpose is to provide evidence that supports a defined asset decision: prioritizing maintenance, investigating degradation, assessing serviceability or documenting equipment condition. The examination is planned around the asset's operating context and the information needed by the owner.
Inspection outputs
Traceable radiographic images, interpreted indications and an examination report.
Planning considerations
Technique choice depends on component geometry, required image quality and the approved radiation-control arrangements.
From scope to decision
Provide equipment identification, drawings, material details, operating conditions and previous inspection records where available.
Confirm the inspection objective, accessible locations, coverage, acceptance basis, site arrangements and reporting requirements.
Review recorded findings against the agreed scope, identify any coverage limitations and define the need for further inspection or engineering assessment.
Project questions
What information helps define a quotation?
Share the asset type, location, quantity, inspection objective and desired schedule. Drawings, previous reports and access information help the team prepare a realistic scope.
Can this technique be combined with other services?
Yes. Complementary examination or engineering assessment may be needed to characterize relevant findings. The combination depends on damage mechanisms, material, geometry and the decision required.
