1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This procedure covers the technique, acceptance standard for radiographic testing
of castings and welding.
5.0 TERMINOLOGY
5.1 For definitions of terms used in the test method is as per ASTM E1316.

6.0 PROCEDURE
6.2 Surface preparation ~ The surface shall be prepared as necessary to remove any
conditions that could mask or be confused with the image of any discontinuity.
6.3 Source to film distance ~ Source to film distance should be taken care of
the geometric unsharpness. Geometric unsharpness should not be greater than
one percent of the maximum part thickness being interpreted on radiograph, or
0.0070", whichever is less.
6.5 Back scattered radiation protection ~ Radiation emanating from surfaces behind
the film i.e walls, floors, etc. serves to reduce radiographic contrast and may produce
undesirable effects is on radiographic quality. A lead sheet placed behind the film
generally furnish adequate protection against back scattered radiation.
6.6 Location Markers ~ The radiographic image of the location markers shall appear
on the film without interfering the interpretation. These marker positions shall be
marked on the material and the position of the markers shall be maintained on the
part during the radiographic cycle
.
7.0 PENETRAMETER (I.Q.I)
7.1 One penetrameter shall represent an area within which radiographic densities do
not vary more than +30% to -15% from the density measured through the body of the
penetrameter.
7.3The penetrameter should be kept on the source side of the casting being radiographed.
If it is not possible penetrameter of next lower designation can be placed on film side with
prefix F on the penetrameter.
9.1 Single wall technique -- Radiography shall be performed using this Technique in
which radiation passes through only one wall.
9.2 Double wall technique --- This technique in which the radiation passes through
both walls and both the walls are viewed for acceptance on the same film
10.0 PROCESSING
11.1 Film Quality --- The radiograph Quality requirement as per ASTM E 746, E 1735.
11.2 Film Evaluation ---- The acceptance or rejection of the material is by comparing
the radiographic image to the agreed upon acceptance criteria.
