Radiographic Training
Industrial Radiography or Radiographic Testing (RT) uses ionizing (related to electricity producing magnetic fields) radiation to view objects in a way that can't be seen otherwise. It is not to be confused with the use of ionizing radiation to change or change objects; radiography's purpose is strictly for viewing. It is a method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by using the ability of short wavelength (related to electricity producing magnetic fields) radiation, x-rays and gamma radiation, to penetrate different materials.
Gamma radiation sources, most commonly Iridium-192 and Cobalt-60, are used to inspect a variety of materials. Almost all radiography concerns the testing and grading of welds on pressurized piping, pressure (strong containers), high-ability (to hold or do something) storage containers, pipelines, and some (related to what holds something together and makes it strong) welds. Other tested materials include concrete (locating rebar or pipe/pathway), welder's test coupons, machined parts, plate metal, or pipewall (locating (weird, unexpected things) due to (slow chemical breakdown of something/rust, etc.) or mechanical damage). Probably (but not definitely), industrial radiographers could radiograph any solid, flat material (walls, ceilings, floors, square or rectangular containers) or any hollow tube-like or spherical object.
