Abstract

The basic purpose of radiographic inspection is to obtain information about abnormalities in the specimen. These abnormalities may be flaws in metal (e.g. cracks, inclusions), errors in assembly, wrongly-positioned components or dimensional errors, and may or may not be significant. An understanding of the image provided assumes therefore that an image of a ‘correct’ specimen is available for comparison.
