CRI Report Writing & Documentation 2

Question 1

When documenting a linear indication in a weld radiograph, which measurement must always be included in the report?

Accepted Answer

Length of the indication

Answer

Linear indications are characterized and reported by their length, as acceptance criteria in codes like ASME and AWS are length-based.

Question 2

A CRI report references 'IQI sensitivity achieved.' What does this statement confirm?

Accepted Answer

The required image quality has been demonstrated on the radiograph

Answer

IQI (image quality indicator) sensitivity achieved means the required wire or hole is visible, confirming adequate radiographic technique and image quality.

Question 3

Which document section of a radiographic test report typically records the source-to-film distance (SFD)?

Accepted Answer

Technique parameters

Answer

SFD is a technique parameter that affects geometric unsharpness and must be recorded in the technique section of the RT report.

Question 4

When a radiographic report must be revised after final sign-off, what is the correct documentation practice?

Accepted Answer

Issue a revised report with a new revision identifier and retain the original

Answer

Revisions require a new revision level (e.g., Rev. 1) while the original is retained, creating a complete audit trail per quality system requirements.

Question 5

In a radiographic report, what is the purpose of recording the 'object-to-film distance' (OFD)?

Accepted Answer

To determine geometric unsharpness and magnification

Answer

OFD is used in the geometric unsharpness formula (Ug = f × OFD/SFD) and affects image magnification, making it a critical documented parameter.
