FALL 2019 ISSUE
Message from the Section Chair
I am excited to be serving as Section
Chair this year. We have great speakers,
seminars and events being planned, all
catered to your interests. We are also busy
planning the ICPIIT – 16 conference to be
held June 2020, for the first time at the
Marriott Town Square, in beautiful Sugar
Land, Texas.
I joined ASNT in the Fall of 2000, I had
just moved to Houston from my beloved
New Orleans. I was excited, wide eyed &
naïve about embarking upon a sales career
in the big city of Houston. I quickly became
overwhelmed and started looking for a
place to meet likeminded people in the oil
& gas inspection industry. I was invited
to an ASNT meeting, began attending our
monthly meeting, eventually signed up for
membership committee, and as they say,
the rest is history. I have been involved
in ASNT for the past 19 years, I have
made lifelong friends both personally and
professionally. My hope is that you have the
same great experience, as I have.

A Gap Analysis of the Film
Radiography to DR Transition Process
By Antionette Bailey, TB3 NDT Consulting LLC, ASNT / NAS 410 Level III
MT, PT, RT, UT, ET, IRRSP, ASNT Regional Director – Region 2
Let’s face it, transitioning an NDT lab from Film
Radiography to Digital Radiography (DR) is no easy
task, and the technology is changing at a mind
blowing rate. Users of digital radiography systems
cannot keep up with rapidly advancing technology as
well as changes in customer requirements. Now that
the Oil and Gas, Aerospace / Aviation, Automotive,
Military and Department of Defense industries
have accepted DR as a mainstream technique for
industrial radiography, NDT Level IIIs are faced
with DR Gaps in the following areas: classroom
training, hands-on experience, certifying personnel
and meeting customers specification per ASTM
requirements.
This first gap in the DR transition processing is
in the selection of DR equipment that to meet
applicable product forms as well as customer
requirements. Equipment type, size, accuracy
and modality can vary and here examples of types
of modalities: Computed Radiography (CR) using
Phosphor imaging plates or Digital Radiography (DR)
using Digital Detector Arrays (DDA) for 2D imaging
or Computed Tomography (CT) for 3D or 4D imaging.
The DR systems can be real-time, static, robotic,
semi-automated or fully automated vault or cabinet
systems or simple manual systems used for field
radiography. Purchasing of equipment requires
research, budgeting and planning with the help of
customers and the Responsible Level III, before
any purchase decisions are made. The problem is
that often neither the customer nor the Responsible
are consulted on DR system purchasing decisions
resulting in wasted valuable resources.
Due exponential growth and demand for
DR implementation, such as CT for additive
manufactured products, it is common that
management, engineering and production hurry to
make DR purchase decisions without consulting
Level IIIs who are responsible for personnel,
Pg. 2
equipment buy-offs and customer approvals.
Millions of dollars have been wasted on DR systems
with robotics, hardware, software and accessories
that either do not work or do not meet ASTM. In
many cases, management have made the wrong
decision on equipment purchases due to budget
limitations, lack of education and training on DR
modalities / capabilities and not vetting DR systems
prior to purchase. It is my experience that Level
IIIs are often rushed into meeting requirements
without fully understanding any requirements
themselves and are caught by surprise when DR
equipment arrives onsite without Level III knowledge.
Additionally, development for some technology
such as Computed Tomography, is still evolving
and ASTMs are still being revised or created for CT.
Therefore, many customers who are purchasing
the NDT services do not know requirements and
therefore are not providing any written detailed
requirements in specifications, leaving the Level III
with no support or guidance for DR transition. This
is true industry wide the exception of a few major
Prime Manufactures who have the staff and finances
to research and develop DR criteria. The error in
company logistics on equipment purchasing is the
primary reason that DR systems are sitting in shops
in a new and unused condition for several years and
DR equipment manufactures are wondering why
systems have been purchased but not being utilized.
The stress that comes with the DR implementation
process may be a contributing factor to why DR
has taken a while to become accepted in industrial
radiography.
The second gap is in the area of DR training and
experience of new RT trainees or RT personnel
transitioning from film to DR modality. Many times,
new trainees are sent to attend DR courses before
attending and passing conventional RT I and RT II
classes. This is a significant problem for
(continued on page 3)
ONLINE AT ASNTHOUSTON.COM
ensuring complete qualification for certification
testing because many new DR trainees have little
understanding of the RT method although they
may be very proficient in using software. To avoid
this problem, the Level III is required to verify the
capabilities of the training provider, the credentials
of the instructor, then review and approve the course
outline. Although classroom training is normally
provided by the DR equipment manufacture, this
training is normally specific to software and using
the manufacture’s DR system and software so this
training is not specific to the method of radiography.
This leaves the Level III with the responsibility to
ensure that sufficient conventional RT training,
component hands on training and customer specific
training is provided. Here is an example of RT
training interpretations from NAS 410:
Sufficient hands-on training is of primary
importance for DR. Documented experience or
on the job training (OJT) may be obtained by the
current employer or by a previous employers and
documentation for trainees shall be available for
review and shall indicate: the date, task, hours
and certified Level II or III signature. Additional
experience for currently certified NDT Personnel shall
Pg. 3
be documented for each technique added within
each method (i.e. adding a new DR modality such as
CT). Acceptance of experience shall be verified and
documented by the Responsible Level III and here is
a DR OJT documentation example:
Once qualification prerequisites have been met,
certification of new RT trainees or RT personnel
transitioning from film to DR modality is the
third gap. The certification process involves the
development, administration, grading and
documentation of a General, Specific and Practical
examination. For new employees, the General
examination should consist of a general knowledge
of both film and DR technology as determined by
the Responsible Level III. The Specific and Practical
examinations should consist of all modalities (film
and DR) and techniques used by the company as
required by the customer. For Level IIIs, a Procedure
must be written specific to the DR modality used
by the company and this requires knowledge in the
modality, skills in technical writing, ability to interpret
ASTM requirements and the ability to assess and
implement customer specifications.
The ability to interpret ASTM requirements and
implement customer specifications is the fourth
and final gap and the most challenging for Level
IIIs. Many RT personnel struggle to understand DR
system components, software tools and especially
robotics for equipment purchased which makes
reading and interpreting the ASTM a very challenging
task.
ONLINE AT ASNTHOUSTON.COM
For each modality, the Level III is required to
implement several ASTMs and here is a comparison
of Computed Radiography verses conventional
Digital Radiography (without considering Computed
Tomography).
Developing procedures, techniques and approving
processes while learning how to use the DR system,
baseline the system, establishing long term stability
checks and keeping up with production demands is
an almost impossible task for the Responsible Level
III to handle alone. Some larger companies have
the luxury of allowing Level IIs and Engineers the
time to assist Level IIIs but this is the exception, not
the norm. The shortage of qualified and certified
RT technicians overall has added to the stress on
Level IIIs and the excessive anxiety has caused some
companies to reject the idea of converting from film
to DR and many RT personnel to retire which has left
a large void in RT expertise. Level IIIs in all industries
agree that we are in need of a paradigm shift.
Pg. 4
How can change and improvement occur? Although
these 4 gaps are facts that industry is starting to
discuss as reality, many of us are collaborating
to find solutions rather than focusing on the
problem. At the recent ASNT Digital Radiography
and Ultrasonics conference held in New Orleans,
Louisiana, the conference Chair, Mr. George Hodges,
held a Digital Radiography Panel Discussion followed
by a Federal Working Group meeting. The attendees
were DR system users from all industries, DR
equipment manufacturers, DR standard committee
members and customers who purchase NDT
services. These subject matter experts all came
together as one voice to identify struggles and
find solutions to all 4 of these gaps identified in
this article. Users stated that mentoring from DR
system manufactures is needed for: equipment
hands on training, hands on software training and
formal training on implementing ASTM standards
ae needed steps towards improvement. Another
step is educating company management on DR
transition planning and taking an approach of quality
assurance rather than production driven automation.
Education, training, experience, accurate personnel
qualification and system certification has always
been the key to any successful NDT process. If
our industry can continue to collaborate and if
corporations can buy in to Digital Radiography
accuracy rather than focusing on production speed,
we are probably headed into a prosperous season of
technological advances and significant improvement
in radiography quality. I am ready for the journey, so
how about you?
