Full title and description

Non‑destructive testing of welds — Radiographic testing — Part 1: X‑ and gamma‑ray techniques with film. This item (St ISO 17636-1-2022 rus) refers to the ISO 17636‑1:2022 international standard (second edition, 2022) and the Russian-language edition/translation or national adoption of that text where available.

Abstract

Specifies recommended, repeatable film radiography techniques for radiographic testing of fusion‑welded joints in metallic materials (plates and pipes and other cylindrical bodies) using X‑ and gamma‑ray sources and industrial radiographic film. The document describes exposure techniques, source selection, focal‑spot and geometry considerations, film processing and quality control measures; it does not include acceptance criteria for indications (see ISO 10675 series for acceptance levels).

Scope

Applies to radiographic testing of fusion‑welded joints in metallic plates and cylindrical bodies (pipes, tubes, penstocks, boiler drums, pressure vessels) using industrial radiographic film techniques. The standard gives procedures and practical guidance to enable satisfactory and repeatable radiographs to be produced; it is not a document that sets acceptance levels for weld quality.

Key topics and requirements

• Recommended exposure techniques for film radiography of plate and pipe welds (single‑wall, double‑wall, panoramic and off‑centre methods, elliptic and perpendicular exposures where relevant).
• Guidance on radiation source selection (X‑ray tubes and gamma‑ray isotopes), focal‑spot size and energy considerations for adequate penetration and sensitivity.
• Geometric setup, film‑to‑object distance, and positioning details to achieve reproducible image quality.
• Film type, handling and chemical processing requirements, image contrast and density control, and radiographic quality indicators/phantoms for sensitivity checks.
• Quality assurance and documentation practices for radiographic testing; references to acceptance‑level standards for evaluation (ISO 10675 series).

The technical content and specific requirements are summarized from the published ISO text and recognized national/adopted versions.

Typical use and users

Primary users are NDT technicians and radiographers, welding inspectors, quality/control engineers, certification bodies, and engineering/specification authors who write or apply radiographic testing procedures for welded joints. Used for procedure development, training, qualification of radiographic setups and for establishing repeatable film‑based RT practice in industry sectors such as pressure‑vessel fabrication, piping, petrochemical, shipbuilding and heavy engineering.

Related standards

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 17636‑1:2022 is an international standard that specifies film‑based radiographic testing techniques for fusion‑welded joints in metallic materials (plates and cylindrical bodies). It provides procedures and quality control measures to produce satisfactory and repeatable radiographs.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers X‑ and gamma‑ray film radiography techniques, source and geometry guidance, film and processing requirements, recommended exposure methods for common weld configurations (including pipe weld techniques), and quality assurance practices. It does not provide acceptance levels for weld indications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: NDT/radiography practitioners, welding inspectors, QA/QC engineers, procedure writers, and organizations that perform or specify film radiography of welds. Certification and inspection bodies use it as a technical reference for RT procedure development and qualification.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 17636‑1:2022 is the current (published) edition and it supersedes ISO 17636‑1:2013. National and regional adoptions (EN ISO, DIN EN ISO, translations) may exist; check the national standards body for the Russian‑language edition/adoption.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes. ISO 17636 is a multi‑part series: Part 1 covers film radiography (this standard) and Part 2 covers digital radiography (digital detectors). Acceptance criteria for radiographic testing are provided in the ISO 10675 series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Radiographic testing, film radiography, X‑ray, gamma‑ray, weld inspection, nondestructive testing (NDT), RT‑F, weld radiography, ISO 17636‑1.
