COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art equipment. 

This course is designed to provide participants the theory lectures and practical training with a preliminary understanding of Radiography Testing (RT) as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Non-destructive Testing. 

 

This course covers the basic radiology physics and the industrial radiography; the fundamental properties of matter, radioactive materials and the various types of radiation; the interaction of radiation with matter, exposure devices and radiation sources; the radiological safety principles covering controlling personnel exposure, time, distance, shielding concepts, ALARA concept, radiation-detection equipment and exposure-device operating characteristics; and the radiographic technique and the process of radiography. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the basic principles of radiography including geometric exposure principles, radiographic screens, radiographic cassettes, composition of industrial radiographic film and the ‘heel effect’ with x-ray tubes; the radiographs and radiographic image quality; the proper film handling, loading and processing; and the various exposure techniques and fluoroscopic techniques in radiography. 

 

Sample Questions for general examinations are presented in the separate question booklets that can be obtained from ASNT International Service Center. Participants will further demonstrate familiarity with and ability to operate the necessary equipment for RT, record and analyse the resultant information to the degree required as well as test flawed specimen and component and analyse the results of NDT as part of the practical training. 

 

At the completion of the course, participants will be appearing for a Level I exam.  Each candidate will be a ‘Certified ASNT NDT Level I in Radiographic Testing’ upon successfully passing the examination with a minimum passing composite grade of at least 80 percent (%).
