Radiographic testing (RT)

We provide radiographic testing services using X-ray and gamma ray equipment.

We offer express radiographic film processing and evaluation in the place of performing the test thanks to the Mobile Laboratory located in a specially prepared vehicle, which allows introducing potential corrections on the fly.

Radiographic testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing method which facilitates the detection of discontinuities occurring inside the examined material. During RT, high-energy ionising radiation (X or γ) is directed at the object, and a sheet of radiographic film is placed behind it. After passing through the object, the radiation carries the internal image of the examined element as a projection of discontinuities (such as bubbles or solid inclusions) expressed in radiation dose differences, which is exposed on the radiographic image by blackening power variations. The final radiographic image is obtained by subjecting the film to specific photochemical processing (developing process). Any detected discontinuities are evaluated in the radiographic image according to specific criteria.
