2021 ASQ Philip B. Crosby Medal Winner

The RTFIPro work "A Practical Field Handbook In Industrial Radiography & Radiograph Interpretation," is published in 2020, and just in one year, after being the Amazon.ca Bestseller on Several Occasions in Vocational Books, became the first ASQ (American Society for Quality) Philip B. Crosby Medal Winning Book in the field of Nondestructive Testing. The handbook is unique in several aspects, e.g. it covers industrial codes, and practical field use & application of industrial radiography tools. The handbook is developed by taking into consideration the needs of industrial radiography novices and experts. The handbook is developed to be a major utility in the industrial radiographer's field toolbox.

The handbook not only provides readers with the learning opportunity for attaining industrial radiography certification, but also serves as a field reference where all relevant data (i.e. sensitivity charts, density tolerances, several inspection techniques & other relevant information), are available in one treatise, for a code compliant radiographic inspection and evaluation with correct interpretation.

The handbook, a one of its kind, is aimed at both the practical and field aspects of industrial radiography. It is an effort focused on reducing inspector subjectivity and interpretation variances. The main goal is to give readers, novice or experienced, a structured approach in developing radiographic inspection techniques with a focused understanding on application of different industrial codes with correct interpretation. The handbook also provides readers with a side by side comparison of the use and application of different industrial codes, and will educate users in applying sound judgement while using the acceptance criteria.

The handbook provides users with ample examples on code interpretation when disposing of field radiographic films. The handbook is an everlasting reference, which can be equally useful for new entrants in the field of industrial radiography, as well as, the experienced radiographers. The handbook provides around 200 fully interpreted radiographs, with over 100 field technique setups and several hundred tables with data extracted and interpolated for missing wall thickness for a ready field use.

We’re on YouTube

RTFIPro has a YouTube channel to provide the industrial radiography professionals a platform to come and discuss the day-to-day problems, complications, and tricky interpretations. The RTFIPro YouTube channel will also provide subscribers with weekly videos discussing the complex subject of radiograph film interpretations and the effects of different codes on specific dispositions.
