4 Qualification of the inspection
4.1 General
CT is used in industry both for defect testing and dimensional testing and measurement. Since CT does
not directly provide measurement of desired quantities such as, for example, pore size or wall thickness,
these quantities must be derived from the X-ray linear attenuation data represented by the CT grey
values. The detectability of features and the degree of accuracy required depend on the inspection task,
the specification of the available test equipment and the analysis and evaluation methods used. When
determination of such quantities is required, a special task-specific qualification test of the CT system
is required. The qualification measures are described in 4.2 and 4.3. The qualification should be carried
out by trained personnel. The trained personnel shall be able to prove they have undergone training
and qualification in digital industrial radiography or radioscopy.

4.2 Qualification of defect testing
4.2.1 General
Under test qualification, the suitability of the CT inspection technique for measuring a quantity to
the required precision should be verified. The following steps described are typical of those for the
successful verification of the suitability of CT for industrial applications.
4.2.2 Quality feature
Typical quantities to be measured are the sizes of pores, cavities, cracks, inclusions, contaminants as
well as studies of the material distribution and the assembly and installation position of components.
Because the test sample and the type, position and size of the features to be detected determine the
properties of a CT system to be used, information such as the following should be known:
a) test object:
1) dimensions;
2) weight;
3) materials;
4) path length to be X-rayed in the material;
b) test feature:
1) type;
2) position;
3) size;
4) distribution, frequency;

4.2 Qualification of defect testing
4.2.1 General
Under test qualification, the suitability of the CT inspection technique for measuring a quantity to
the required precision should be verified. The following steps described are typical of those for the
successful verification of the suitability of CT for industrial applications.
4.2.2 Quality feature
Typical quantities to be measured are the sizes of pores, cavities, cracks, inclusions, contaminants as
well as studies of the material distribution and the assembly and installation position of components.
Because the test sample and the type, position and size of the features to be detected determine the
properties of a CT system to be used, information such as the following should be known:
a) test object:
1) dimensions;
2) weight;
3) materials;
4) path length to be X-rayed in the material;
b) test feature:
1) type;
2) position;
3) size;
4) distribution, frequency;
c) feature detectability:
1) limiting defect;
2) limiting feature.
Since the feature detectability strongly influences the specification and therefore the cost of a CT
system, special attention must be taken when defining the sensitivity of the tests required. If, due
to missing information, no limiting values for features are defined, it is recommended that the best
possible sensitivity is used for the specific method and CT system and the attained feature detectability
is verified using, for example, destructive tests.
4.2.3 Feature detectability/test system/system parameterisation
The usability of the CT system and the selection of system parameters are determined by the
requirements for feature detectability. Typical variables are:
a) spatial resolution:
1) overall spatial resolution of the CT image;
2) scan geometry;
3) detector spatial resolution;

2) detector settings;
3) tube voltage;
4) tube current;
c) reconstruction/visualization:
1) number of projections;
2) CT grey value dynamic range of the reconstruction or visualization;
3) CT image size in X, Y and Z axes.
CT system set-up and image quality parameters are described in ISO 15708-2:2016, 4.1 and 5.1.

4.2.4.1 General
A reliable statement on the defect detection sensitivity and the defect detectability of the CT system
used in a test shall be made by stating the degree of accuracy of the test required (tolerance, degree of
fluctuation). Several alternative procedures are described in the following.
