Service Description
Our X-Ray & Gamma Radiography service is a specialized inspection technique that utilizes advanced imaging technology to examine the internal structures of metal components. By employing X-rays or gamma rays, we can penetrate through the material, providing a comprehensive assessment of the integrity and quality of your metal parts.
During the radiographic inspection process, our skilled technicians carefully position the component and expose it to the controlled emission of X-rays or gamma rays. These high-energy rays pass through the material, capturing detailed images of its internal features. The captured images are then carefully analyzed to detect any potential defects, such as cracks, voids, weld discontinuities, or other anomalies that may compromise the strength or performance of the component.
Our non-destructive X-Ray & Gamma Radiography testing method offers numerous advantages. It enables us to identify hidden defects that may not be visible through visual inspection alone, providing a more comprehensive assessment of the component’s structural integrity. The technique is highly sensitive, allowing for precise defect detection even in complex geometries or hard-to-reach areas.
Challenges
Shell required a comprehensive inspection solution that could accurately detect internal defects, including cracks, voids, and weld discontinuities, in their metal components. The challenge was to conduct thorough inspections while adhering to stringent safety standards and minimizing any potential impact on Shell’s operations.
Solution
Charlton Metal Testing’s team of experienced professionals designed a customized X-Ray & Gamma Radiography inspection plan tailored to Shell’s specific requirements. State-of-the-art equipment, including advanced imaging technology, was deployed to carry out the inspections. Our team carefully positioned the components and conducted radiographic examinations to capture detailed images of the internal structures.
Results
The X-Ray & Gamma Radiography services provided by Charlton Metal Testing proved to be highly successful in meeting Shell’s expectations. The inspections detected several critical defects, including hidden cracks and weld discontinuities, that were not visible through other conventional inspection methods. The accurate identification of these defects allowed Shell to take timely corrective actions, ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of their metal components.
Through our advanced X-Ray & Gamma Radiography services, Charlton Metal Testing played a crucial and indispensable role in assisting Shell, a leading global energy company, in maintaining the utmost integrity and reliability of their critical metal components. The successful implementation of this project further solidified Charlton Metal Testing’s longstanding reputation as a trusted and preferred provider of comprehensive and cutting-edge non-destructive testing services.
