Radiographic testing is a method of Non-Destructive testing that uses penetrating X or Gamma Radiation to examine defects and internal features in materials, products or structures. Radiation is directed through the test piece and onto film or other media.
Interpretation of the radiograph by qualified personnel enables identification of internal defects or features such as a radiography test for welding joints, castings, forgings, composites and is also used for corrosion mapping and the measurement of wall thickness.
At Format NDT, we provide a full range of radiographic testing methods that can either be on-site or in our fully equipped radiography laboratory. Our certified technicians are experienced in working to specific customer standards in addition to the most common industry standards covering a wide range of materials and structures.
Format NDT has or is currently undertaking radiographic inspections in the following sectors, Nuclear, Construction, Oil & Gas, Petro-Chemical, Aviation, Power Generation and General Manufacturing. Take a look at our portfolio of work.

When it comes to radiographic testing our team here at Format NDT can provide you with industrial radiographic film services, as part of our non-destructive testing services we can provide you with full digital radiography services. Radiography uses both X-ray and gamma radiation to produce an object onto a film, computed radiography is a tool used in non-destructive testing, for this reason, we can provide industrial radiographic films showing images of any area you need to see.
The advantage of using radiographic testing to provide image quality, value and understanding is able to be seen without having to cause any damage. Our image quality parameters are second to none and we can use our imaging without the need to destroy any component.
Radiographic testing has been available for several sectors for a number of years, our team have provided industrial computed radiography services during this time using x-ray or gamma radiation to help provide you with the images you need without causing any damage to and internal structure. Here at Format NDT, we can carry out radiographic inspection and digital radiographic testing services for a range of industries, these are as follows;
Non-destructive Testing services are incredibly useful for getting high image quality indicators to assess the damage, structural damages and more.
Naturally, our NDT services benefit from the Format NDT Quality system which is fully compliant with ISO 9001 -2015. In addition, our skilled team of NDT personnel and technicians are qualified up to level 3 over a range of examination services and compliant with ISO 9712 and SNT-TC [1-A (ASNT).
But perhaps more important than the certification, qualification & experience of the Format NDT team is the eagerness to serve, ability to assess and willingness to ensure that customer service is paramount and underpins everything that we do.
We recognise that every customer has a choice of non-destructive testing companies, and we want to ensure we are the partner of choice. Whether you are looking for testing methods that prioritise quality control or you are looking for industrial NDT methods, get in touch with our team today to find out more.

Radiographic Inspection, a key service offered by Format NDT, is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses either X-rays or gamma rays to view the internal structure of a component. This technique is ideal for identifying internal defects such as cracks, voids, or inclusions in a variety of materials. It’s widely used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and pipeline construction for its ability to provide a detailed image of internal features without damaging the tested item.
Safety is paramount in Radiographic Inspection at Format NDT. We strictly adhere to regulatory safety standards to protect both our technicians and the environment from radiation exposure. Our certified radiographers use protective equipment and barriers, and follow stringent procedures to minimise exposure. Radiation levels are constantly monitored to ensure they remain within safe limits.
Radiographic Inspection offers unique advantages, making it a preferred choice at Format NDT. It provides a permanent record of the inspection, visualises internal structures without disassembly, and detects both surface and subsurface defects. Its ability to penetrate various materials and reveal hidden flaws makes it ideal for complex components and critical safety inspections.
Radiographic Inspection is highly versatile and can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. At Format NDT, we specialise in inspecting welds, castings, and composite structures, ensuring they meet quality and safety standards. However, the technique’s effectiveness may vary depending on the material’s density and thickness.
Radiographic Inspection at Format NDT is completely non-destructive and does not harm the tested materials. The use of X-rays or gamma rays does not alter the material properties, making it safe for inspection of critical components in various industries.
Format NDT’s Radiographic Inspection services are extensively utilised in industries where material integrity and safety are crucial. These include aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, pipeline construction, and power generation. Our RI services are integral in ensuring the reliability and safety of structural components and systems in these sectors.
Environmental safety is a key concern at Format NDT. We use environmentally safe practices in Radiographic Inspection, including proper shielding and containment to prevent radiation leakage. Our equipment and procedures comply with environmental regulations, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Yes, Radiographic Inspection at Format NDT is effective for both metallic and non-metallic materials. While it’s widely used for metals, it’s also capable of inspecting plastics, composites, and ceramics, although considerations like material density and thickness can influence the inspection’s effectiveness.
