The following types of radiation are commonly used
2. Gamma rays: High-energy electromagnetic radiation used to inspect internal structures and defects in materials, such as welds and castings.
3. Neutron radiation: Used to inspect internal structures and composition of materials, such as in neutron radiography.
4. Beta radiation: Used in some specialized applications, such as in the inspection of thin materials.
X-rays are the most commonly used radiation in radiography tests, and they are classified into two categories:
1. Low-energy X-rays (20-50 kV): Used for soft tissue imaging, such as mammography.
2. High-energy X-rays (50-150 kV): Used for bone and dense material imaging.
Radiography tests using X-rays are widely used in various industries, including:
1. Medical imaging: Diagnostic imaging of internal structures and organs.
2. Non-destructive testing (NDT): Inspection of materials and welds in aerospace, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries.
3. Security screening: Inspection of luggage and cargo in airports and border control.
Always follow safety guidelines and protocols when working with radiation to minimize exposure and ensure safe testing practices.
