Industrial Radiography (X-Ray & Gamma) in Boksburg

What Is Industrial Radiography?

For the highest level of scrutiny on critical weldments and heavy castings, FlawTech provides Industrial Radiography (RT). This premium Non-Destructive Testing NDT Boksburg method produces a permanent, two-dimensional visual record of a component's internal structure — making it the gold standard for code-mandated weld inspection.

How Gamma and X-Ray Imaging Works

Industrial Radiography works like a medical X-ray but on a massive industrial scale. We pass highly penetrating X-rays (from portable X-ray generators) or Gamma rays (using sealed Iridium-192 isotope sources) through the material onto a digital detector or film. Internal flaws, including lack of fusion, slag inclusions, porosity, undercut, and incomplete penetration, absorb radiation differently than sound material, creating distinct shadow indications on the final radiograph.

The resulting radiographic image provides indisputable, permanent, and auditable proof of a weld's internal integrity, which is why RT is mandated by ASME Section V, API 1104, and API 650 for critical pressure boundary welds.

When FlawTech Deploys Radiography

• Pressure Vessel Inspection — proving volumetric integrity of primary shell and nozzle welds
• High-Pressure Piping — full-penetration butt weld verification on ASME B31.3 piping systems
• Structural steel connections requiring code compliance documentation
• Final acceptance testing where a permanent visual record is contractually required

Applicable Standards

• ASME Section V, Article 2 — Radiographic Examination
• API 1104 — Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities
• API 650 — Welded Tanks for Oil Storage
• SANS 10120 — NDT of Welds

ASME and API compliant radiographic inspection for pressure vessels, piping, and structural welds.
