Radiographer LPC LMA

Overview

To produce radiographs to customer and PCC specifications for evaluation of castings.

Objective: to accurately set up castings for radiography.

• Checks routing or requests to determine x‑ray needs on parts.
• Reviews Technique Cards to determine setup requirements, including x‑ray techniques, part positions and Film/IP requirements based on Technique Cards.
• Sets up additional radiographs of defect areas not covered by Technique Cards.
• Inspects condition and maintains Film/IP and cassettes. Follow proper handling techniques.
• Sets up castings on tables in x‑ray machines including fixturing, placement of Film/IP’s, and DICOM tag identification and penetrameters on Film/IP; sets exposure parameters.
• Determines priority of radiographs to be taken.
• Develops best practice setup requirements for newly developed techniques when needed.
• Visually inspects castings for dirt, penetrant, grinding debris, etc.

Objective: to effectively and accurately operate x‑ray machines and produce radiographs within customer specifications.

• Operates x‑ray machine control panels and equipment to take multiple views of castings, adjusting radiographic variables such as tube height, voltage and exposure times within customer specifications.
• Monitors, maintains, and generates exposures for System Qualifications on X‑ray equipment per customer and PCC specifications.
• Regularly conducts more than one radiographic examination concurrently and is expected to be able to operate all machines.
• Removes Film/IP from casting for image processing while maintaining proper Film/IP handling techniques.
• After image processing, checks samples of radiographs on each casting for inner fearing artifacts, clarity, coverage, pixel value and sensitivity; makes changes within customer and PCC specifications; records any changes made; reshoots exposure when needed.
• Will be audited without notice by all auditors both PCC internal and external auditing groups (e.g. PCC NDTE, NADCAP, ISO 9000).
• Trains, mentors, and assists less skilled radiographers with setup and operational techniques as needed and assigned. (Marginal job function in NDTE departments)
• Completes logs and records, and records any modifications to Technique Card specifications.
• Meets all production and quality standards.
