Radiographic Testing of Casting Frames in China Performed by SGS(firmenpresse) - On June 1, 2010, SGS China was awarded a contract to check
the integrity of 100 sets of the casting frames of metro cars,
using Radiographic Testing, a conventional NDT method, by a
global leader in aerospace and rail transportation.
The client looked for a reliable third-party testing company,
which could provide Non-Destructive Testing of casting frames
of metro cars, produced in China, in a very short time. Therefore
SGS opened two test sites in Qingdao, China and organized a
team of NDT experts within two days. Four SGS NDT experts
and fourteen SGS NDT inspectors worked around the clock to
provide Non-Destructive Testing of the casting frames in the
shortest possible time.
In order to detect any imperfections and failures in the casting
frames and ensure the top quality, SGS applied Radiographic
Testing. Radioactive X-rays and Gamma-rays were directed
during the testing at the casting frames of metro cars, while a
negative film was positioned behind. During the testing
radioactive X-rays and Gamma-rays were directed at the casting
frames of metro cars, while a negative film was positioned
behind. The film was then processed and showed an image
displayed as a sequence of grey shades between black and
white. After the development of the film, SGS experts analyzed
thickness and density differences to detect material
imperfections and discontinuities.
Due to the extensive experience in similar projects, SGS
conducted the NDT tests on 100 sets of casting frames and
evaluate over 6,000 pieces of films within six weeks.
