Topical Outline
The number in parentheses following each reference is the ASNT catalog number.
Industrial radiography involves exposing a test object to penetrating radiation so that the radiation passes
through the object being inspected and a recording medium placed against the opposite side of that
object. For thinner or less dense materials such as aluminum, electrically generated x-radiation (X-rays)
are commonly used, and for thicker or denser materials, gamma radiation is generally used.
