Røntginspeksjon

Røntginspeksjon, also known as X-ray inspection, is a non-destructive testing method that utilizes X-rays to examine the internal structure of objects. This technique works by passing X-rays through the material being inspected. Different materials absorb X-rays to varying degrees, and these differences are detected by a sensor or film. The resulting image, often called a radiograph, reveals internal flaws such as cracks, voids, inclusions, and density variations.

The applications of røntginspeksjon are widespread. In manufacturing, it is commonly used to inspect welds, castings, and electronic components to ensure quality and integrity. The medical field extensively uses X-ray technology for diagnostic imaging, allowing doctors to visualize bones, organs, and other internal structures. In security, X-ray scanners are employed at airports and other checkpoints to detect prohibited items within luggage or cargo. The effectiveness of røntginspeksjon depends on factors such as the energy of the X-rays used, the thickness and composition of the material, and the sensitivity of the detection system. While highly effective, it is important to note that radiation safety protocols must be strictly followed during its operation.
