Non-destructive testing. Radiation methods. Computerized tomography. Part 1: Terminology

This standard establishes a comprehensive framework for terminology used within the field of non-destructive testing, specifically focusing on the application of computerized tomography via radiographic methods. Developed by the national standardization body of Moldova, the document serves to unify the language and definitions required for consistent technical communication across the industry. It addresses the specialized vocabulary necessary for describing processes, equipment, and results when utilizing X-ray or gamma-ray technologies to generate cross-sectional images of objects. The content is structured to provide clear and unambiguous meanings for key concepts, ensuring that engineers, technicians, and inspectors share a common understanding during the design, evaluation, and implementation of inspection protocols. By defining these terms, the publication supports the accurate interpretation of data and facilitates the interoperability of systems and procedures in various sectors where internal structural integrity must be assessed without causing damage. This resource acts as a foundational reference for professionals seeking to align their documentation and operational practices with established international technical norms.
