Themaximumthickness for theuseof radioactive isotopes isprimarilydictatedby exposure time, therefore upper limits are not shown. The minimumRecommended thickness limitation may be reduced when the radiographytechniques are used to demonstrate that the required radiographic testingsensitivityhavebeenobtained,bypurchaserapproval.
4.RADIGRAPHICFILMS
Any commercially available industrial radiography films may be used inaccordance with SE 1815(ASTM) standard test method for film system inindustrial radiography.Radiography film shall be fine grain high definition, highcontrastfilm(KodaktypeAA400,FUJI100orAGFAD7).
5.SCREENS
Any commercially available intensifying screen, except those of the fluorescenttype,maybeused.IntensifyingscreenforxrayorGamaraymethoddividedintwocategories:1frontscreen2backscreen.Commonly leadscreensusewith27micronthickness.(Frontscreen)
