Radiographic Testing

Radiographic testing (RT), also known as X-ray testing, is an imaging test method that uses a radioactive source to view the inside of metallic and non-metallic components.

An X-ray tube or radioactive material source passes through the testing material to irradiate a film revealing different densities within the element. Digital Radiography (DR) is another radiographic testing method that uses X-ray imaging systems or radioscopy systems, and images can be stored and evaluated digitally.
