Seeing Through The Issues
Use of conventional radiographic film for inspecting welds in high-energy piping. X-ray or gamma ray source applied to produce images of internal pipe structures. Film placed opposite to the radiation source to capture shadow image. Detects cracks, voids, and weld defects through density variations. Film development shows detailed images for interpretation. Requires precise exposure time, distance, and film type. Visual inspection of developed film for flaw analysis. Manual or digital film processing techniques. Provides permanent record of inspection for future reference. Digital radiography (DR) uses digital sensors instead of film to capture X-ray images. Applied to high-energy piping to detect internal defects like cracks, corrosion, or weld issues. Provides instant image results, enhancing inspection speed and accuracy. Uses lower radiation doses compared to traditional methods. Offers clear, high-resolution images for detailed analysis. Reduces the need for film development and physical storage. Enables easier data sharing and long-term storage. Can be used in harsh environments or confined spaces. Helps in maintaining safety and operational integrity of piping systems.
