VSP offers real-time and static X-Ray inspection per ASNT, AWS, ASME, MIL, and other specifications at our lab or in the field. Our comprehensive NDT lab provides industrial x-ray services for flaw detection, weld inspection or defect analysis. Radiography (RT) or X-Ray inspection is a non-destructive testing process for detecting subsurface discontinuities in metals, polymers, and composite materials. The process saturates the part with radiation, which creates areas of preferential absorption based on material density and voids. The radiation which passes through the part creates a contrasting image on a film receiving the radiation. The contrasting image is inspected by a certified technician to locate indications, such as voids, metallic and nonmetallic inclusions, incomplete fusion, cracks, and porosity. The technician can determine what may have caused it, and what action should be taken, if any. Our high resolution computed radiography lab provides the highest quality digital imaging.
