Film Interpretation
of Weldments
Course Description: A study of radiographic film, including exploration
of radiographic basics, interpretation, and causes and effects of
discontinuities.
Learning Outcomes: Describe the performance of
radiography of weldments; determine when radiography is the preferred method of
nondestructive examination; describe radiograph film: composition, proper
handling, and storage. Read and interpret film images in a general context
(degree of penetration, shape recognition, light and dark regions, light
source, etc.); identify discontinuities, such as slag, porosity, cracks,
incomplete fusion, and laminates; identify from films weldment types and
configurations; read radiograph films and identify and interpret discontinuities
leading to weld failure.
