Telecurso 2000 - Ensaios de Materiais - 23 Radiografia industrial

Telecurso 2000 Handout - Materials Testing: http://bmalbert.yolasite.com/resource... If you've ever had a bone fracture or caught a bad case of the flu, your doctor probably ordered an X-ray of the affected area to diagnose your problem. After the X-ray, you and the doctor likely observed the result, presented on a radiographic plate similar to a photographic negative. Due to the differences in tone on the plate, the doctor noticed several things and even commented on them to you, which probably made you a little suspicious, as you saw almost nothing or... nothing of what he pointed out. Yes, interpreting radiographs requires specialized knowledge and practice! In industry, the same type of examination is used, with the same final product for analysis: the radiographic plate to detect discontinuities in materials. This is industrial radiography, another type of non-destructive testing that you will begin to study in this lesson. But there is a very important aspect: industrial radiography works with radiation doses about ten times higher than those usually used in clinical radiography tests! From that, you can already imagine that safety is one of the fundamental factors in carrying out this test. Only those who know the subject can act safely. Therefore, let's start by studying some basic concepts necessary for understanding radiographic tests, such as: what this test consists of and its importance; how it originated; what types of radiation are used, their characteristics and methods of obtaining them.
