Radiographic Testing (RT) Level-I Course

Training Course Objective :

To provide a basic knowledge of RT to enable a participant to carryout tests according to an established procedure under the supervision of a level II or level III personnel. The course is especially designed to provide a sound theoretical knowledge and practical skill for RT required for a Level I technician.

RT Level I Responsibilities :

To carryout operation as per written procedure/instruction from Level II personnel. He shall be able to set up the carryout the tests as per established and approved RT procedures, classify, report the results and to follow safety norms. He shall not be responsible for the choice of the test technique nor for assessment of the test results

RT Level I Course outline :
Nuclear Physics-Interaction of Radiation with Matter
Shielding, Radiation Detectors, Biological Effects
Radiation Protection, Basic Rules & Techniques
Sources of Radiation and their characteristics
Film Radiography
Film Processing.
Inspection Techniques and Procedures
Sensitivity & Definition, I.Q.Is, Other Accessories
Types of Discontinuities

Radiographic Testing (RT) Level-II Course

Training Course Objective :

The course is intended to provide through grounding in the principle of Radiographic Testing-RT and fundamentals of material and process such that the trainee would be able to

Identify suitability of RT for the material and inspection technique
Shielding, Radiation Detectors, Biological Effects
Develop techniques and procedures that can be followed by a Level I operator
Analyze the test result and document the same
Be familiar with codes, standards and specifications for RT to evaluate results of the tests
Be conversant with all statutory and safety norms of the authorities under jurisdiction
RT Level II Responsibilities :
