📸 Digital Radiography Testing (DRT): The Future of NDT Imaging
What Is Digital Radiography Testing?
Digital Radiography Testing (DRT) is an advanced, non-destructive testing (NDT) method that uses digital X-ray sensors to examine the internal structure of components and welds. Unlike traditional film-based radiography, DRT provides instant, high-resolution digital images, enabling faster inspection and real-time decision-making.
At Inspection Technic, we offer cutting-edge DRT solutions to industries where accuracy, speed, and traceability are critical—such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, power plants, refineries, and infrastructure.
How Does DRT Work?
DRT uses digital detectors or computed radiography plates to capture X-ray or gamma-ray images. These are then processed and displayed using specialized software that allows for:
- Zooming and contrast adjustment
- Digital annotation and measurements
- Archiving for traceability and compliance
- Instant defect identification and reporting
✅ Key Advantages of Digital Radiography Testing
| Traditional RT (Film-Based) | Digital Radiography (DRT) |
|---|---|
| Film processing time | Instant image capture |
| Chemical disposal issues | Eco-friendly digital format |
| Manual storage & logistics | Cloud or local archiving |
| Slower feedback loop | Real-time defect detection |
🛠️ Where DRT Is Used
DRT is ideal for applications where speed, safety, and digital traceability are essential:
- Pipeline girth weld inspections
- Pressure vessel and tank evaluations
- Offshore and onshore structural welds
- Castings and forgings in manufacturing
- Shutdowns, revamps, and time-sensitive projects
