ABOUT
Element operates radiographic inspection laboratories around the country, staffed with certified technicians and outfitted with the latest technical and image processing equipment to process, inspect, and certify to the highest standards a wide variety of products for the aerospace, power generation, military, nuclear, and commercial industries.
Radiographic inspection (RT) is performed using a radioactive isotope or an x-ray tube in order to create an image on a film or in a digital format. This non-destructive testing (NDT) method is a volumetric inspection in which defects that are not open to the surface can be detected that may not otherwise be detectable. A vast array of material and products can be examined for discontinuities using radiographic inspection, ranging from tiny electronic components to large vessels.
Element’s Radiographic Inspection Capabilities
We pride ourselves on our industry-leading radiographic inspection capabilities. From aerospace products to material samples, we can support virtually any project.
- Commonly inspected components include:
- Aircraft structures
- Boilers
- Castings
- Forgings
- Machined parts
- Pressure vessels
- Structural steel
- Valves and components
- Welds and weld overlays
Element’s radiographic inspection staff are certified to ASNT Central Certification Program (ACCP). Our Level II and Level III technicians have the capability to perform conventional film radiography, a portable method which is capable of revealing the most microscopic cracks in metallic materials. Element’s RT laboratories also perform Computed Radiography and Digital Radiography, two methods which produce an image in a digital format that can be viewed on any laptop or computer, eliminating the need for film and chemical processing.
Whether you require on-site field services or in-lab RT laboratory analysis, you will have local access to our global platform of experts and resources, delivering the certainty your radiographic inspection projects require.
