What is Radiography Testing?
This method consists of a sensitive radiographic film being placed under a specific component i.e. a weld or casting, The Component is then exposed to ionizing radiation either X-Radiation or Gamma Radiation; this radiation will pass through the component and expose the film beneath it leading to what is known as the latent image on the film this image is not a permanent image and no noticeable change will be seen until development when it becomes a permanent fixed image. Discontinuities such as cracks or lack of fusion within the component can affect the exposure of the film. Most materials can be tested by Radiographic inspection, e.g. Ferritic and non-ferritic materials and welds, castings and often composites are viewed too. Radiographic testing provides a permanent record and provides a high sensitivity of testing.
What are the responsibilities of a individual who is certified to Radiography Level II?
An individual certified to Radiography testingLevel II has demonstrated competence to perform NDT according to Radiography Testing procedures. Within the scope of the competence defined on the certificate, Level II personnel may be authorised by the employer to:
- Select the Radiography technique for the test method to be used;
- Define the limitations of application of the testing method;
- Translate NDT codes, standards, specifications and procedures into NDT instructions adapted to the actual working conditions;
- Set up and verify equipment settings;
- Perform and supervise tests;
- Interpret and evaluate results according to applicable standards, codes, specifications or procedures;
- Prepare Radiography written instructions
- Carry out and supervise all tasks at or below level II;
- Provide guidance for personnel at or below level II, and
- Report the results of Radiography test

Application of the method to the specific requirements of Robust Training, in particular making reference to those codes, specifications, procedures and acceptance criteria used by Robust Training, including the relevant control checks.
What is Radiographic Interpretation?
The Radiographic Interpretation course only covers the interpretation of the radiograph, therefore is suitable for personnel wishing to only interpret
Radiographs as opposed to creating radiographs via Radiographic testing.
