Enabling Objectives In order to accomplish the Terminal Objective, the participant will be able to: Identify radiation sources Describe the different radiographic techniques for setting up a radiographic exposure Determine radiographic sensitivity Calculate radiographic geometric unsharpness Identify different types of radiographic film and intensifying screens Describe how to process radiographic film Describe radiographic viewing requirements Interpret and evaluate radiographic film Document results This training material has been developed using the latest available versions of applicable Saudi Aramco and industry standards. However, these documents are regularly updated; therefore, it is the responsibility of the inspector to ensure that he is conducting his inspections according to the latest versions of these documents.
