INSP 111 - Radiography Level I

Course Description
This course provides a basic foundation to industrial radiography for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Learn the physical principles of penetrating radiation, sources, detection, process and weld interpretation. We will also focus on practical applications and theory for Level I Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) certification.

Introduction to digital and computed radiography is also discussed, as is film interpretation of discontinuities and radiation safety with x-ray tubes - a requirement by the Alberta Government codes.
