Radioscopic Methods

Non-Destructive Weld Testing Standards cover multiple possible methods of testing welds or metallic materials. Non-destructive testing analysis techniques are used for QA, evaluations, research, in cases where the product is expensive or unique, failure analysis, and so on. With a focus on radiographic testing, these standards also cover magnetic, radioscopic, ultrasonic, and other methods. General rules, guides, terminology, are provided, as well as standard test methods, specific techniques, and acceptance levels, together covering both the broad strokes and the nuanced testing procedures.

BS EN 13068-1:2000

Non-destructive testing. Radioscopic testing. Quantitative measurement of imaging properties (British Standard)

The procedures given in this standard can be applied to all radioscopic systems which provide an electronic signal to a display unit or an automated image interpretation system. The radioscopic system is analysed for the response to well defined test specimen. The measurement should be performed by a sufficiently equipped and experienced laboratory. From the results, the specifications of the imaging system regarding image properties can be derived. This standard so far does not include imaging properties under moving conditions.

BS EN 13068-2:2000

Non-destructive testing. Radioscopic testing. Check of long term stability of imaging devices (British Standard)

This part of the standard gives guidance on the on site control of equipment for radioscopy where the image is presented on a display unit including image processing. The radiation sources used can be X-rays or gamma rays. This standard establishes rules for testing a radioscopic system to assure a constant level of inspection quality. The tests should be easily performable by the operators of the system. They are based on an input signal from defined image quality indicators. The measurement of the systems response should be performed with the same equipment which is in use in this particular installation.

BS EN 13068-3:2001

Non-destructive testing. Radioscopic testing. General principles of radioscopic testing of metallic materials by X- and gamma rays (British Standard)

This European Standard specifies general rules for industrial X- and gamma-radioscopy for flaw detection purposes, using radioscopic techniques, applicable to the testing of metallic materials. It does not lay down acceptance criteria of the discontinuities.
