Group Description
Welcome to [NDT Inspection Portal]’s industrial radiography (RT) group, a place for professionals to connect and discuss the latest techniques and technologies in industrial radiography.
RT is a non-destructive testing method that uses ionizing radiation to inspect the condition of components such as pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels. The radiation is directed through the component and is absorbed differently by different materials, allowing for the detection of flaws, defects, or other abnormalities within the component. Our member group offers a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices on RT and its applications in various industries. Join our community of experts from around the world and be a part of the conversation on advancing the practice of industrial radiography.
Reply To: sensitivity calculation in RT
To calculate sensitivity for a DWDI (Double Wall Double Image) technique, the job thickness you should consider is option 3:(5.54+1.5)X2
This is because in DWDI, the X-ray beam passes through two walls (each with its own thickness, including weld reinforcement), so the effective thickness for sensitivity calculation is the sum of both walls.
Refer to Section V of ASME BPVC (Article 2, Mandatory Appendix I), where guidelines for determining sensitivity and thickness for DWDI are typically discussed. Ensure to verify your calculation with the specifics of the code edition you’re using.
