Radiography remains the benchmark method for weld inspection where a permanent, code-reviewable image of the weld volume is required. Prime Inspections runs the full range — conventional film RT, digital radiography (DR), computed radiography (CR), and real-time radiography (RTR) — matched to the weld, the material, and the schedule.
Our Level II and Level III technicians shoot radiography in the field and the shop, from pipeline girth welds to pressure vessel seams, delivering results interpreted and reported against the governing code.
Certified Level II and Level III technicians, the right radiographic technique for the weld in front of them.
Field RT and digital radiography on new-construction and tie-in girth welds, delivering same-shift interpretable results.
RT and DR on process piping circuits, vessel seams, and nozzle welds to ASME B31.3 and Section VIII acceptance criteria.
Radiographic inspection of structural and fabricated steel welds during shop and field construction.
RT and CR for casting and component inspection where internal soundness must be verified before service.
DR and CR cut the 45+ minutes conventional film development takes, without giving up a permanent, reviewable image.
Film RT where it's specified or preferred, digital DR/CR for speed, RTR for fast screening — we don't force one technique on every job.
Level II and Level III technicians holding ASNT and AWS certifications, with deep radiography experience across pipeline and process industries.
Nationwide coverage across 11 locations, mobilized to your site's schedule.
Prime covers the full method and industry range beyond radiographic testing.
Girth weld radiography and phased array UT for pipeline construction and integrity programs.
Turnaround and shutdown inspection for refinery and petrochemical process piping and vessels.
Single-scan weld imaging and corrosion mapping with PAUT and AUT.
Field radiography and AUT for new-construction pipeline weld quality under API 1104.
NDT for hyperscale, colocation, and AI data center mechanical and structural systems.
Cryogenic-rated inspection for LNG liquefaction, regasification, and export terminals.
Conventional RT exposes film that is chemically developed; digital radiography (DR) captures the image directly on a digital detector for immediate viewing; computed radiography (CR) uses a reusable phosphor plate scanned into a digital image. All three produce a radiograph interpreted against the same code acceptance criteria.
RTR streams a live radiographic image during exposure rather than producing a single static shot — useful for fast screening and access-limited components where immediate feedback speeds decision-making.
Pipeline girth welds, process piping, pressure vessel seams, and structural welds across carbon steel, stainless, and other alloys, inspected to the governing code in your project specification (API 1104, ASME B31, or ASME Section V/VIII).
