Radiographic Testing
Radiographic Testing
An established non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that is frequently used in the oil and gas sector to assess the internal integrity of welds, pipes, pressure vessels, and other crucial components is radiographic testing (RT), also referred to as industrial radiography or X-ray/gamma ray testing. Radiographic testing uses X-rays or gamma rays to uncover hidden defects that could jeopardize the functionality and safety of critical infrastructure.
TUV SAG provides top-notch radiography testing services using both conventional and digital radiography systems, carried out by certified NDT technicians (ISO 9712 / SNT-TC-1A). Our RT services guarantee complete adherence to ASME, API, ISO, and Saudi Aramco standards while supporting construction, shutdowns, and continuing operational integrity programs
Benefits
1. Identification of Internal Defects:
Internal defects that are not apparent during surface inspections, such as cracks, porosity, inclusions, and lack of fusion in welds and materials, can be found with TUV SAG’s RT services.
2. Guaranteed Weld Quality:
Fabricators, EPCs, and operators can better satisfy client requirements and international welding standards by using radiographic testing to verify the integrity and soundness of weld joints
3. Integrity management and preventive maintenance:
Pipelines, pressure systems, and static equipment are less likely to experience catastrophic failures when subsurface flaws are detected early enough to allow for proactive maintenance and prompt repairs.
4. Improved Safety in Operations:
By detecting flaws in high-pressure and high-temperature components, RT reduces the possibility of leaks, ruptures, or system failures in crucial service areas, thereby directly contributing to safety.
5. Compliance with Regulations and Codes:
Assisting clients in fulfilling project and regulatory requirements, our testing and reporting are completely in line with relevant codes like ASME Section V, API 1104, ISO 17636, and Aramco Engineering Standards (SAES).
6. Capabilities of Digital Radiography (DR):
Additionally, TUV SAG provides Digital RT solutions that offer reduced radiation exposure, faster image acquisition, better image quality, and improved data archiving for long-term inspection traceability.
7. Support for Shutdown and Turnaround:
In order to minimize production downtime and provide effective, timely testing services during plant shutdowns or pipeline outages, we facilitate the quick deployment of RT teams.
