SGS provides Non-Destructive Testing Services and offers Training Courses in Radiographic Testing and Interpretation in its NDT Training Center.
Radiographic Testing, as a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), is split into specific product sectors for certification at Levels 1 and 2, and these are:
Each of these categories is further split into sub-groups:
- Light Metal X-ray
- Dense Metal X-ray (and gamma if required)
- Dense Metal X-ray (and gamma if required)
- Light and Dense Metal (both x and gamma ray)
To be eligible for the Radiographic Testing Examination at either Levels 1 or 2, the candidate must first successfully pass the examination for Basic Radiation Safety Courses.
Here you can find an example of the syllabus we use for Training on Radiographic Testing which can also be customized according to your needs.
Level 1:
General Theory:
- Properties and production of X and gamma rays
- The formation of a latent image
- Radiographic film
- Development/processing
Practical exercises cover:
- Radio Radiographic techniques
- Density graphic quality
- Image quality
- Monitoring
Specific Theory:
Application of the Radiographic Testing Method and use of codes, specifications and procedures, applicable to the company, including the relevant control checks.
Practical Examination:
Follow written instructions and process the inspection test pieces, record and report defects from known datum markers, carry out pre-test calibration checks, post-test procedures.
Level 2:
General Theory: (In addition to the Level 1 syllabus above):
- The properties of X and gamma rays
- Personnel protection and safety procedures
- Atomic structures
- Generation of X-rays
- Natural and artificial gamma radiation sources
- Gamma ray equipment
- Radiographic film
- Intensifying screens
- Exposure charts
- Characteristic curves
- Diagnostic film lengths
- Exposure calculations
- Techniques for weld radiography
- Darkroom procedures
- Radiographic quality
- Introduction to the interpretation of radiographs
- Specifications and procedures
- Practical exercises
Specific Theory:
Application of the Radiographic Testing Method to the specific requirements of the company, in particular making reference to those codes, specifications and procedures used by the company, including the relevant control checks.
Product technology of the products for the relevant sector, i.e. welds, castings, forgings. This includes, manufacturing processes, defect formation and detection.
Practical Examination:
Produce written instructions, determine the best inspection techniques for the individual parts, process the inspection test pieces, record and report defects from known datum markers, carry out pre-test calibration checks, post-test procedures.
In the British Institute of NDT Personnel Certification (PCN), Radiographic Testing Examination candidates must fulfill certain examination requirements in order to pass the exam.
