Radiography Interpretation<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

Level II\/III interpretation of radiographic film and digital images to ASME, API and AWS acceptance standards.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is RT Interpretation?<\/span>

Radiographic Film Interpretation<\/h2>

Radiographic Interpretation is the skilled reading and evaluation of radiographic images to identify, classify and accept or reject weld discontinuities against applicable code acceptance criteria.<\/p>

PetroNDT provides dedicated RT interpretation by ASNT Level II and Level III certified interpreters \u2014 both for our own RT operations and as a third-party service for client film archives and digital images.<\/p><\/div>

How It Works<\/span>

Inspection Process<\/h2><\/div>
01<\/div>

Image Quality Check<\/h3>

Verify IQI (penetrameter) sensitivity meets code requirements before interpretation.<\/p><\/div>

02<\/div>

Density Verification<\/h3>

Check film density is within acceptable range using densitometer.<\/p><\/div>

03<\/div>

Systematic Examination<\/h3>

Evaluate radiograph systematically from left to right, identifying all indications.<\/p><\/div>

04<\/div>

Classification<\/h3>

Classify each indication by type, location, size and orientation.<\/p><\/div>

05<\/div>

Accept\/Reject Decision<\/h3>

Compare findings against applicable code acceptance criteria and issue report.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
