X-ray Inspection Let's You Know What's Inside
Industrial Radiographic Testing (RT) or X-ray Inspection, uses highly penetrating X-rays to create a permanent visible film record of a material’s internal condition without damaging the item. The process provides basic information to determine the soundness of the material and is used for the following purposes:
- Locate internal discontinuities such as shrinkage, cracking and porosity in products and parts
- Verify the integrity of internal components
- Determine the quality of welds
The need for X-ray Inspection services can occur during product research and development, as part of the manufacturing, fabrication or installation process or when the product is purchased for future use.
X-ray Inspections at LTI
At LTI, our NDT certified technicians perform nearly all X-ray inspection in our large-capacity 20 ft. x 20 ft. radiography vault, but also work with a cabinet camera for small products. Customers send materials in a wide-range of shapes and sizes for X-ray inspection, including castings, weldments, machined parts and electronic components. Our high-capacity forklifts and cranes safely handle materials weighing up to three tons and our X-ray equipment can penetrate up to 4 1/2 inches of steel. For products outside of this scope, we can subcontract your order to one of our approved vendors.All X-ray inspection results are evaluated by our certified NDT Level II and Level III technicians and customers receive the details of all findings in their Certified Test Reports.
