Radiographic Testing (Weld) - Level II

The Radiographic Testing (RT) Level II course is designed for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) personnel who perform practical inspections using radioactive materials or radiation-emitting devices. While the radiographic interpretation course focuses solely on interpreting radiographic images, both courses cover the same general theory syllabus to ensure a comprehensive understanding of image formation, sensitivity, and correct techniques.

Course Content:

The RT Level II course covers a wide range of topics to enhance participants' knowledge and skills in radiographic testing. The course content includes:

• Basic radiation safety
• Properties of X-ray and Gamma rays
• Atomic structures
• Generation of X-rays
• Natural and artificial gamma radiation sources
• Gamma-ray equipment
• Radiographic film
• Intensifying screens, exposure charts, calculations
• Techniques for welding and/or casting radiography
• Darkroom procedures
• Radiographic quality
• Interpretation of radiographs
• Preparation of written instructions/radiographic techniques
• Specifications and procedures
• Practical exercises
