Abstract
The digital technologies get ever wider application in various fields of engineering, including also in radiation control of quality of welded joints. In the work a high flaw detection efficiency of flash radiography and radiography without intermediate information carriers (films, memory plates) is shown, providing a low cost and ability to multi-angle real-time monitoring of inner defects of welded joints. At the same time the speed of control is significantly reduced. The portable equipment for implementation of this technology is described allowing achieving the sensitivity of up to 0.1 % of thickness of the inspected metal and resolution exceeding 10 pairs of lines per millimeter. 11 Ref., 4 Figures.
 
Keywords: non-destructive testing, flash radiography, digital image, X-ray TV system, scintillator, CCD array, flat panel detector, inner defects of welded joints
