FILMS VIEWER
The conditions under which radiographs are viewed are very important. To achieve a
luminance of the illuminated radiograph of 30 cd/m2, the luminance of the illuminator needs
to be:
-
3000 cd/m2 for a film density at 2.0
30000 cd/m2 for a film density at 3.0
The brightness of a viewing screen can be checked with an ordinary photographic exposure
meter, if a suitable light meter is not available.
Film viewer will be equipped with an internal fan to ensure the temperature within the
housing of the film viewer does not exceed 600C, or viewer equipped both an internal
cooling system (fan) and an automatic cut off switch, which will switch the viewer off once
the temperature within the housing of the viewer exceed 600C.
Radiographic interpretation shall be carried out by using the REMSCO Model No.: SB900X (USA product) or equivalent equipment sufficient to view a radiograph having 4.0
density maximum.

Page No.: 6 of 18
DENSITOMETER
A calibrated densitometer with valid certificate will be available at the radiograph viewing
station for density measurement. Densitometer SM-14 or equivalent will be used.
8.
LOCATION AND FILM MARKER

Location marker of high atomic number metal such as lead in the form of Numeric shall be
used.
Location Markers, which are to appear as radiographic images on the film, shall be placed
on the part, not on the exposure holder/cassette. Their location shall be permanently marked
on the surface of the part being radiographed when permitted, or on a map, in a manner
permitting area of interest on a radiograph to accurately traceability to its location on the
part. Evidence shall also be provided on the radiograph that the required coverage of the
region being examined had been obtained.
To maintain traceability of the defects in a weld for repair purposes, adequate markings
shall be provided. These makings shall not be moved during radiography of the weld. A
zero O marker shall identify the starting point and the direction on the weld and shall be
marked with a permanent marker on the pipe surface as well as the film. Two types of
identification are required base on the pipe weld diameter:
-
Pipe welds having nominal diameter above 3 inches shall have a continuous marker
band (metric) wrapped around the circumference of the pipe.
Films for pipe welds with nominal diameter 2 inches or less, shall be identify with
marker such as 0 for the first shot, 90 for the second shot and so on. The markers
shall be lead type with approximate dimensions of 6mm in height and 1.5 mm thick.
Please see Appendix 1 Radiographic Technique for reference.

9.
SOURCE TO SUBJECT DISTANCE

The source-to-subject distance shall not be less than the total length of film being exposed in
a single plane.
The source-to-subject distance shall not be less than seven times the thickness of weld plus
reinforcement and backing, if any.
Otherwise, the minimum distance from source to subject being radiographed should satisfy
the geometric unsharpness (Ug) requirement as detailed in Section 10.0 of this procedure.
10.
GEOMETRIC UNSHARPNESS LIMITATION

Geometric unsharpness (Ug) of the radiograph shall be determined in accordance with:
Ug = Fd/D

Page No.: 7 of 18
Ug
= geometric un-sharpness
= source size, the maximum projected dimension of the radiating source (or
effective focal spot) in the plane perpendicular to the distance D from the
weld or object being radiographed.
= distance from source of radiation to weld or object being radiographed.
distance from source side of weld or object being radiographed to the film
Note: Refer to Standard Guide for Radiographic Testing SE-94 for a method of
determining geometric unsharpness. Alternatively, a monograph as shown in Standards
Guide for Radiographic Testing SE-94 may be used.
The geometric unsharpness of the radiographic image shall not exceed the following
values: referred to T-285 ASME Code Section V
Material thickness,
mm
Under 50.8
50.8 through 76.2
Over 76.2 through 101.6

USE OF IQI FOR RADIOGRAPHY
11.1
SELECTION OF PENETRAMETER (IQI)

Refer to Table 2 of this procedure
11.2
PLACEMENT OF PENETRAMETER (IQI)

i)
Penetrameters shall be placed in contact with the piping or plate, across the weld and
perpendicular to the weld length.
ii)
Source-Side IQI(s). The IQI(s) shall be placed on the source side of the part being
examined, except for the condition described in paragraph below. When, due to part
or weld configuration or size, it is not practical to place the IQI(s) on the part or
weld, the IQI(s) may be placed on a separate block. Separate blocks shall be made of
the same or radiographically similar materials and may be used to facilitate IQI
positioning. The IQI on the source side of the separate block shall be placed no
closer to the film than the source side of the part being radiographed. The separate
block shall be placed as close as possible to the part being radiographed. The block
dimensions shall exceed the IQI dimensions such that the outline of at least three
sides of the IQI image shall be visible on the radiograph.

Page No.: 8 of 18
11.3
iii)
Side IQI(s). Where inaccessibility prevents hand placing the IQI(s) on the source
side, the IQI(s) shall be placed on the film side in contact with the part being
examined. A lead letter F shall be placed adjacent to or on the IQI(s).
iv)
Film-letter F shall be placed adjacent to or on the IQI(s).
v)
IQI Placement for Welds - Wire IQIs. The IQI(s) shall be placed on the weld so that
the length of the wires is perpendicular to the length of the weld. The identification
numbers and, when used, the lead letter F shall not be in the area of interest,
except when geometric configuration makes it impractical.
NUMBER OF IQIs.
Please refer to Appendix 1 Radiographic Technique designate the numbers of IQI use for
each different exposure technique.
11.4
PENETRAMETER (IQI) SENSITIVITY

Radiography shall be performed with the technique of sufficient sensitivity to display the

where,
I0 is the intensity of the incident light
IT is the intensity of the transmitted light
The transmitted film density through the radiographic image of the adjacent to the
designated wire of a wire IQI and the area of interest.
Density Limitations: 2.0 to 3.8 ( 0.05)
If the density of the radiograph anywhere through the area of interest varies by more than
minus 15% or plus 30% from the density through the adjacent to the designated wire of a
wire IQI, within the minimum/maximum allowable density ranges specified in above, then
an additional IQI shall be used for each exceptional area or areas and the radiograph retaken.
13.
QUALITY LEVEL OF RADIOGRAPH

All radiographs shall be free from mechanical, chemical or other blemishes to the extent that
they do not mask and/or are confused with the image of any discontinuity in the area of the
object being radiographed. Such blemishes include, but are not limited to:
i)
Fogging.
ii)
Processing defects such as streaks watermarks or chemical stains.

Page No.: 10 of 18
iii)
Scratches, fingers mark, crimps, dirtiness, static marks, smudges or tears.
iv)
False indications due to defective screens. Films, in which any of the prescribed
symbols, number or datum point marks is lacking, mistaken, or retouched, shall be
disqualified.
The Client reserves the right to require additional radiography or re-shoots if the quality of
the radiographs do not comply with project requirements.
14.
RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE
A single-wall exposure technique shall be used for radiography whenever practical. When it
is not practical to use a single-wall technique, a double-wall technique shall be used. An
adequate number of exposures shall be made to demonstrate that the required coverage has
been obtained.
i)
Single-Wall Technique. In the single-wall technique, the radiation passes through

only one wall of the weld (material), which is viewed for acceptance on the
radiograph.
ii)
Double-Wall Technique. When it is not practical to use a single-wall technique, one

of the following double-wall techniques shall be used.
Single-Wall Viewing. For materials and for welds in components, a technique may
be used in which the radiation passes through two walls and only the weld (material)
on the film-side wall is viewed for acceptance on the radiograph. When complete
coverage is required for circumferential welds (materials), a minimum of three
exposures taken 120 deg. to each other shall be made.
Double-Wall Viewing. For materials and for welds in components 1 to 2 inches

in nominal outside diameter, a technique may be used in which the radiation passes
through two walls and the weld (material) in both walls is viewed for acceptance on
the same radiograph. For double-wall viewing, only a source-side IQI shall be used.
Care should be exercised to ensure that the required geometric unsharpness is not
exceeded. If the geometric unsharpness requirement cannot be met, then single-wall
viewing shall be used.
+
For welds, the radiation beam may be offset from the plane of the weld at an
angle sufficient to separate the images of the source-side and film-side
portions of the weld so that there is no overlap of the areas to be interpreted.
When complete coverage is required, a minimum of two exposures taken 90
deg. to each other shall be made for each joint.
As an alternative, the weld may be radiographed with the radiation beam

positioned so that the images of both walls are superimposed. When
complete coverage is required, a minimum of three exposures taken at either
60 deg. or 120 deg. to each other shall be made for each joint.

Page No.: 11 of 18
Additional exposures shall be made if the required radiographic coverage

cannot be obtained using the minimum number of exposures indicated in
paragraph (1) and (2) above.
Please refer to Appendix 1 Radiographic Technique.

15.
SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
The area to be examined shall be positively and unambiguously designated on weld NDT
map drawing. Location on area examined shall be traceable precisely on the identifications
on the radiograph. Lead Numeric and Alphabetic shall be used as markers and shall be
placed in manner without obscuring the area of interest. Marking detail shall include:
16.
i)
