Radiographic Testing Level 1 – 40 Hours

This course provides the foundational knowledge of industrial radiographic testing (RT). Students learn about the properties of matter, the production and characteristics of radioactive materials, including concepts like ionization, shielding, and exposure measurement. They are introduced to radiographic equipment, including X-ray machines and radioactive sources, and the principles governing their operation. Emphasis is placed on radiation safety, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and understanding essential practices like shielding, and safe handling of radioactive materials.

This 40-hour course meets or exceeds the instruction outline and criteria specified in NAS-410, ASNT Recommended Practices SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189 and ASNT Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel (ANSI/ASNT CP-105).
