In the Radiographic Testing (RT) Level I course, the student will learn the theory and principles of radiation and how they apply to the basics of radiography.
There are many variables to be controlled in order to produce a high quality image. RT is one of the major volumetric methods with Ultrasonic Testing being the other. Subjects also include the development of RT techniques for a wide range of applications, handling and processing radiographic film, and the safe use of RT equipment.
Safety is of paramount concern when dealing with radiation sources and the means of monitoring and minimizing exposure is essential. Both X-ray and Gamma Ray sources are discussed along with technique development guidance.
This program is the beginning step for those who will be seeking a career in RT as practitioners. It is also appropriate for other personnel who want to understand the basics of Industrial Radiography. Common applications as well as the need to maintain complete records are also presented.
