Issued on May 19, 2026
Arena Information
Arena Name: Competitive Arena for Radiographic Sensitivity of Tube-to-Tube Sheet Fillet Weld by Rod-anode X-ray Film Radiography
Arena Type: Competitive Arena
Arena Host
Real Name: Zhou Qiming
Organization: Jiangsu Zhongte Chuangye Equipment Inspection Co., Ltd.
Specimen Parameters
Material: Three high-fidelity sensitivity calibration test blocks with different specifications, materials and structures (see Appendix 1 and Appendix 2)
Specification and Dimension: See Appendix 1 and Appendix 2
Surface Condition: Machined surface
Restrictions and Conditions
Testing Method: Rod-anode X-ray film radiography
Testing Instrument: Rod-anode X-ray machine
Testing Technology: Film radiography by backward radiographic exposure
Maximum Number of Participants: ≤ 2 persons
Testing Layout: Radiographic film attached to the pipe orifice
Time Limit: ≤ 0.5h
Evaluation Rules
·The winner shall be the participant who can identify the maximum number and the smallest size of flat-bottom hole images on the radiograph.
· If the minimum identifiable size of flat-bottom holes is the same but the quantity differs, the participant with more identifiable holes wins.
· If both the identifiable size and quantity of flat-bottom holes are identical, the participant with the clearest image of the smallest flat-bottom hole shall be the winner.
Technical Difficulty Description
Challengers shall independently design the compensator and select testing parameters to conduct radiographic exposure on three types of high-fidelity sensitivity calibration test blocks for tube-to-tube sheet fillet welds.
All artificial defects on the test blocks shall be detected, including flat-bottom holes of Φ0.3 mm (hole diameter 0.3 mm, hole depth 0.3 mm).
Defect Distribution of Test Blocks
· Test Block 1 (6-hole): 3 pcs of Φ0.3 mm flat-bottom holes and 3 pcs of Φ0.5 mm flat-bottom holes
· Test Block 2 (6-hole): 3 pcs of Φ0.3 mm flat-bottom holes and 3 pcs of Φ0.5 mm flat-bottom holes
· Test Block 3 (12-hole): 4 pcs each of Φ0.3 mm, Φ0.5 mm and Φ0.7 mm flat-bottom holes
Participation Requirements
  1. Challengers shall independently design and fabricate compensators according to the structure and dimensions of tube-to-tube sheet fillet welds as well as the drawings of high-fidelity sensitivity calibration test blocks, and bring the self-made compensators to the competition site.
  2. Participants shall bring their own radiographic films, lead symbols, intensifying screens and other auxiliary supplies.
  3. The rod-anode X-ray machine for exposure is provided by Dandong NDT Instrument Factory.(Model: XGB130-SE1600 Tube-to-Tube Sheet Fillet Weld Testing System, 130 kV, rod diameter 12 mm).
  4. Radiographic exposure booth, film processing facilities and film viewers are provided by Nanchang Hangkong University.
