Radiologic Evaluator SSBO

Purpose

To interpret film and electronically acquired radiographs of castings using computer applications, ensuring discrepancies meet customer specifications and PCC standards. Parts are approved or routed for repair, marked, and final reports signed to approve castings sent to customers.

Preparation: Review specifications and radiographs before evaluation.

• Review Technique Cards and paperwork to part specifications.
• Sort radiographs by view for each part.
• Check each radiograph to ensure appropriate image quality.
• Ensure proper image file management protocol is followed.

Interpretation: Evaluate radiographs to determine casting quality or need for repair according to customer and PCC specifications.

• Visually evaluate radiographic indications for discontinuities.
• Interpret discontinuities to assess cause and customer compliance.
• Identify surface and subsurface discontinuities per specifications.
• Evaluate parts with repeat problem areas; consult engineering as needed.
• Mark problem areas; request additional radiographs; route repairs on rework routing cards; recommend necessary repairs.
• Sign and stamp reports for part acceptance.
• Review weld maps to confirm all welds are radiographed.
• Perform mathematical calculations from drawings or blueprints to assess acceptability.

• Handle hazardous waste and comply with PPE regulations.
• Meet all production and quality standards per department.
• Accurately record and document work performed.
• Provide training and work direction to less experienced personnel.
• Perform radiographer, darkroom operator, and other department functions as assigned.
• Safely operate all equipment and tools.
• Comply with all safety requirements and maintain a clean, safe workspace.
• Participate in required training, medical monitoring, safety, and health evaluations.
• Maintain regular and predictable attendance.
