Radiography is an essential tool for inspection and development in industry. In addition, radiography is widely used to check weld quality in the construction of power stations, pressure vessels, pipelines, bridges and ships. It also forms part of the periodic routine inspection of aircraft. Moreover, the various inspections and surveying bodies the world over recognise the method as a reliable inspection technique, revealing hidden defects, which might lead to failure in service.

Basically, radiography involves the recording of X-rays and Gamma rays, which have passed through a test object. This simple statement hides many complexities but the RT courses through SANDE will take you to a level where you will be able to apply and interpret this method.
