Radiographic testing is considered a fundamental non-destructive testing (NDT) method, providing the highest reliability of results. It is based on:

  • The absorption of ionizing X-ray and gamma radiation by various materials
  • Physicochemical phenomena that allow the creation of a radiographic image:
    • RT-F – Traditional Radiography: Image captured on film through photochemical processing
    • RT-D – Digital Radiography: Image captured in digital form

RT-F Training introduces participants to the traditional radiography method, covering all steps from correct radiogram acquisition to evaluation of the results.

RT-D Training

RT-D training introduces participants to the two main types of digital radiography systems:

  • Computed Radiography (CR): CR systems use a reusable imaging plate coated with a photostimulable phosphor material to capture X-ray images. After exposure to X-rays, the imaging plate is scanned with a laser beam, which releases the stored energy as light. The emitted light is detected, converted into a digital signal, and processed to generate a digital image.
  • Direct Radiography (DR): DR systems use digital detectors, typically based on amorphous silicon (a-Si) or other semiconductor materials, to directly convert X-ray radiation into digital signals. These detectors capture the X-ray energy and produce a digital image without the need for an intermediate plate or step.

TÜV Thüringen Poland offers training in both traditional (film-based) and digital radiography,

with the possibility of obtaining certification at Level 1 or Level 2, as well as certification specifically for radiographic film evaluation or digital image assessment.

Training Objective

The course aims to develop participants’ skills in performing radiographic testing and evaluating the results in accordance with current standards and regulations, using both traditional (film-based) and digital methods.

Who Should Attend

This training is intended for quality control and supervision personnel, staff from testing laboratories and inspection units, and companies engaged in non-destructive testing. It is aimed at those who wish to gain knowledge and practical skills in performing radiographic testing and evaluating radiographs of welded joints, expand their professional qualifications, and obtain certification as qualified NDT personnel.

 Duration

The training consists of theoretical lectures, tabletop exercises, and practical sessions. The course meets the requirements of EN ISO 9712 and also covers the provisions of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU.

Qualification Exam

The qualification exam and certification process are conducted by an independent, accredited Personnel Certification Body: TÜV Thüringen Slovakia s.r.o.
