Purpose: To interpret (by use of computer applications) all film and electronically acquired radiographs taken of castings to determine that discrepancies meet customer specifications and PCC standards; to determine if parts are acceptable or need repair, mark and route parts for necessary repairs and sign final reports that approve castings sent to customers.

Essential Functions:

Preparation:

• Review specifications and radiographs prior to evaluation.
• Review Technique Cards and paperwork to part specifications.
• Sort radiographs by view for each part.
• Check each radiograph to determine that appropriate quality for image sensitivity and accuracy is obtained.
• Ensure proper image file management protocol is followed.

Interpretation:

• Interpret and evaluate radiographs to determine the quality of castings and to accept the part or route for repair according to customer and PCC specifications.
• Visually evaluate radiographic indications to determine if casting or welding discontinuities exist.
• Interpret identified discontinuities to determine their cause and/or whether they meet customer specifications.
• Interpret and identify surface and subsurface discontinuities per customer specifications.
• Evaluate parts with repeat problem areas; consult with engineering as appropriate.
• Mark problem areas on parts needing repair; may request additional radiographs; routes for repair on rework routing cards; may decide on or recommend necessary repairs.
• Sign and stamp reports for acceptance of parts as determined by interpreter.
• Review weld maps to ensure all welds have been radiographed.
• Perform mathematical calculations from detailed drawings or blueprints to determine acceptability.

Other Duties:

• May handle hazardous waste and follow all required PPE regulations.
• Must meet all production and quality standards per department standards.
