What is industrial radiography equipment?

Industrial radiography works by directing a beam of X-rays or gamma rays at the object under test.The detector is aligned with the beam on the other side of the item.Detectors record X-rays or gamma rays that pass through the material.The thicker the material, the fewer X-rays or gamma rays can pass through.

How many types of industrial radiography are there?

The two main types of industrial radiographic equipment use the two different types of radiation we've already discussed - X-rays and gamma rays.

What are the applications of radiographic inspection?

Applications of industrial radiography and X-ray inspection

• Aerospace - eg.casting.
• Medical devices - eg.pit stop.
• Cars - eg.Piston head.
• Military and Defense - eg.Ballistics.
• Manufacturing - eg.Pre-production qualification of parts.
• Packaging - eg.Structural integrity/leakage or failure analysis or packaging.

Which is better UT or RT?

The main difference between RT and UT is that radiographic methods are more suitable for detecting discontinuities with major dimensions perpendicular to the surface (parallel to the radiation direction) whereas ultrasonic methods are more suitable for detecting discontinuities oriented parallel to the surfacesex.
