Services/Film Digitization

Film Digitization

Legacy radiographic (RT) weld film sits in storage — taking up space, needing climate control, slow to retrieve and at risk of degrading. Prime converts film archives into searchable digital weld records in DICONDE, the industry-standard format for digital NDT data.

Every image is full resolution and indexed to job, line and weld, so a radiograph can be found, shared and reviewed without pulling boxes from storage — supporting your record-keeping and integrity programs.

How it works

01

Pickup & custody

Pickup and hauling of your film archive can be arranged. A documented chain of custody starts at pickup and runs through to completion.

02

Scan & index

Film is converted to full-resolution digital images in the DICONDE format and indexed to job, line and weld, so every radiograph is searchable and traceable.

03

Deliver & disposition

You receive the digital records and their index. You decide whether the original film is retained or destroyed, per your own procedures and retention policy — with a certificate of destruction when you choose disposal.
