Quality of Radiographs
All radiographs shall be free from mechanical, chemical or other blemishes
to the extent that they do not mask and are not confused with the image of
any discontinuity in the area of interest of the object being radiographed.
Such blemishes include, but are not limited to:
a) Fogging;
b) Processing defects such as streaks, watermarks, or chemical stains;
c) Scratches, finger marks, crimps, dirtiness, static marks, smudges or
tears;
d) False indications due to defective screens, cassettes or internal faults
(artifacts).

Sensitivity
The radiographic sensitivity shall be judged base on wire image quality
indicators (IQI). Proper radiographic technique and equipment employed shall
provide sufficient sensitivity to be achieved. Table 6.5 AWS D1.1 above provide
guide to achieve the required sensitivity.

For double-wall exposures and double viewing technique, the diameter of wires
employed shall be based on the nominal double-wall thickness of the specimen
including weld reinforcement.
For double-wall exposure and singlewall viewing technique, the diameter of
the wire shall be based on the nominal single-wall thickness of the specimen
including reinforcement. Steel backing strip shall not be considered of the weld
or weld reinforcement for sensitivity determination.
5.16
Back-Scatter Radiations
Back-scatter radiations results in the scattering of radiation from walls, grounds
or obstructions which might affect film appearance. The adequacy of protection
from back scattering shall be checked with lead letter B of size height and
1/16 thick being attached at the back of film holder. If a light image of letter B
appears on a darker background of the radiograph, the radiograph shall be
rejected due to insufficient protection of back scatter.
5.17
Film Processing
Processing of film shall be done in air-conditioned dark-room with normal
processing. Dilution or mixture of chemicals shall be in accordance to
manufacturers recommendation.
5.17.1
Preparation
Exposed film shall be unloaded in a suitable darkroom with filtered
illumination (safe light) onto film holders or hangers. Temperature
of processing chemical should be within 20 ~ 25C or as per
manufacturers recommendation.
5.17.2
Developer
For old solution, checked the solution levels and ensure that
the solutions completely cover the film and replenisher
added to the proper solution, if needed.

Fixing shall be done for at least twice the clearing time but
not more than 15 minutes in fixer solution. The film shall
completely immersed and agitate vigorously at the beginning
of fixing step about 10 seconds and at least a two minute
intervals afterward to assure uniform action of the chemicals
on the film emulsion.
Washing
The films shall be immersed in clean water and rinsed for at least
10 minutes to ensure complete removal of the fixer that may
remain in the emulsion. The films may de dip in wetting agent for
approximately 30 seconds to facilitate quick and even dry.
