Industrial radiographers are professionals who specialize in using radiographic techniques to inspect materials, components, and structures for flaws, defects, or irregularities in industrial settings. Their primary role is to ensure the quality and integrity of materials and products used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, aerospace, automotive, and energy production.
These professionals typically work with X-ray or gamma-ray equipment to produce images of the internal structure of objects, such as welds, pipelines, castings, and fabricated components. By analyzing these images, industrial radiographers can detect defects such as cracks, voids, porosity, and foreign material that could compromise the safety or performance of the inspected items.
