Röntgentestausta

Röntgentestausta, also known as industrial radiography, is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to inspect the internal structure of materials and components. It utilizes X-rays or gamma rays to penetrate an object and create an image on a detector, such as photographic film or a digital sensor. Different materials absorb radiation to varying degrees, meaning denser or thicker areas within the object will appear lighter on the radiograph, while voids or thinner areas will appear darker. This contrast allows inspectors to identify internal defects like cracks, porosity, inclusions, or incomplete welds.

The process involves placing the radiation source on one side of the object and the detector on the opposite side. The radiation passes through the object, and the resulting pattern of absorption is captured by the detector. This image, known as a radiograph, is then analyzed by a trained professional to assess the integrity of the tested item. Röntgentestausta is widely employed in various industries, including aerospace, manufacturing, power generation, and the petrochemical sector, to ensure the safety and reliability of critical components and structures before they are put into service or during maintenance operations. It is a valuable tool for detecting flaws that might not be visible from the exterior and could lead to failure.
