Radiographic testing (RT), also known as X-ray inspection, is a core NDT method used to evaluate the internal structure of welds, castings and critical components. By placing the test piece between an X-ray source and either film or a digital detector, the system produces images based on differences in material density and thickness. These radiographs reveal internal discontinuities such as cracks, porosity, inclusions and lack of fusion, supporting quality control and compliance in demanding industrial environments.
Labquip NDT supplies X-ray film systems, computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR) detectors, film processors from Waygate Technologies and customisable X-Ray cabinets. These solutions support weld inspection, casting evaluation, pipeline integrity work and general NDT applications where clear, repeatable imaging is essential.
Our technical team provides system selection, installation and operator training, along with routine maintenance to keep radiography equipment operating safely and reliably. We support organisations across the UK with practical, application-focused guidance to match the right radiography workflow to their inspection requirements.
