Radiographic Film Interpretation (RFI) is a critical skill in non-destructive testing (NDT) that involves analyzing radiographic images to detect and evaluate internal defects in welds, castings, and other structural components. This course provides in-depth training on the principles of radiographic testing (RT), film processing, defect identification, and interpretation techniques used in industries such as oil & gas, aerospace, shipbuilding, and manufacturing.
Participants will learn how to read and assess radiographic films, identify common defects such as porosity, cracks, inclusions, and incomplete fusion, and apply acceptance criteria based on industry standards. The course covers exposure techniques, film density evaluation, image quality indicators (IQI), and sensitivity levels.
What you'll learn
Upon successful completion, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of radiographic testing and film interpretation.
- Identify and evaluate internal defects in welds, castings, and structural components.
- Analyze film density, contrast, and sensitivity to ensure accurate interpretation.
- Apply acceptance criteria based on industry standards such as ASNT, ISO, ASTM, and API.
- Recognize the effects of exposure techniques on image quality and defect visibility.
- Use image quality indicators (IQI) and other tools to assess radiographic sensitivity.
- Ensure compliance with safety regulations and best practices in radiographic film interpretation.
