Abstract

Some of the properties of film and vision which affect radiographic sensitivity are discussed. Values of obtainable equivalent penetrameter sensitivity are given for some practical conditions when radiographing ¼- to 2-in.-thick steel with X-rays and 1- to 6-in.-thick steel with Co-60. Limitations to calculations of sensitivity for other conditions are given based on these results.
