What Is Radiography Welding Inspection?

Radiography inspection is an advanced NDT technique used to detect internal imperfections in welds, castings, and other components. Unlike surface-level testing, radiography reveals hidden discontinuities such as porosity, cracks, inclusions, and lack of fusion, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.

The process involves placing the weld or component beneath an X-ray source at a precise angle, typically 90 degrees. Once exposed, the image is processed either manually or automatically in a darkroom. The resulting radiograph is viewed on a specialist light screen where a trained interpreter assesses the weld against relevant acceptance criteria. Because radiographs serve as a permanent, discrepancy-free record, they can be stored for up to 20 years.
