Industrial radiography is a non-destructive test that consists of passing through the component to be tested with a beam of ionizing electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays or X-rays).
This radiation will be more or less absorbed by the internal discontinuities of the piece, reaching the other side of it, with a different radiation intensity, and impressing a radiographic film, which, once developed, shows the location of these discontinuities.
Among the Industrial Radiography techniques performed at SCI we highlight the following:
SCI has the following equipment for industrial radiography:
En la mayoría de sus delegaciones, SCI dispone de bunkers para el radiografiado. Existe también la posibilidad de instalar bunkers modulares en las instalaciones del cliente.
Since the end of 2009, SCI has a linear accelerator at its facilities at Beasain (Guipúzcoa), exclusively for the radiographic inspection of large components, being the first Spanish company specialized in inspection services that offers its clients the possibility of radiographing steel thicknesses up to 300 mm thick. For this purpose, it has a 6 MeV linear accelerator for use in bunkers.
The use of the linear accelerator has allowed SCI to make itself known in our neighboring countries, where there is a growing demand in the metallurgical sector for applications of this type.
