Radiographic Testing (RT) is an advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses X-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal integrity of welds, castings, and thick-walled components without damaging or dismantling them. At Acez, we provide professional radiographic inspection services to verify the structural soundness of thermowells, sensor housings, and pressure-retaining assemblies. This technique allows engineers to detect hidden defects that cannot be identified through visual or surface-level inspection.
Internal discontinuities such as porosity, slag inclusions, incomplete fusion, and subsurface cracks can compromise the mechanical strength of a component. Radiographic testing provides a clear internal image, ensuring compliance with stringent industry standards and safety requirements.
Our radiographic inspection process follows recognized codes and best practices:
-
X-Ray or Gamma Ray Exposure – Controlled radiation directed through the component.
-
Digital or Film Imaging Capture – High-resolution image generation for defect analysis.
-
Internal Defect Detection – Identification of porosity, inclusions, cracks, and weld fusion issues.
-
Code-Compliant Evaluation – Assessment according to standards such as ASME Section V and relevant pressure vessel codes.
-
Documented Inspection Reports – Formal reporting to support compliance and quality audits.
Radiographic testing is essential for explosion-proof sensor housings, high-pressure thermowell installations, critical welded assemblies, and pressure vessel applications where internal weld quality directly impacts safety. Undetected internal flaws can lead to equipment failure, hazardous material release, or costly plant shutdowns.
By implementing X-ray weld inspection, you ensure your components meet structural and regulatory requirements before entering service.
