RADIOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES
The opacity of NR-203MP slag to x-ray is such that slag inclusions will normally appear lighter than the weld.
Voids will normally appear darker than the weld. When using gamma-radiography, slag inclusions and voids will
normally appear darker than the weld. Improved x-ray film readability usually can be obtained by slight over-
exposure at an excitation potential consistent with good x-ray practice, but not over 240 KV. For detailed
information on welding techniques, procedure adjustments, and their effects on weld appearance and quality,

properties of 40 ft-lbs. at 70F (95 Joules at 21C)at low and high heat input levels. As
required by the AWS classification, it meets a minimum CVN of 20 ft-lbs. at -20F (27 Joules

The opacity of NR-203 Nickel C slag to x-ray is such that slag inclusions will normally appear lighter than the weld.
Voids will normally appear darker than the weld. When using gamma-radiography, slag inclusions and voids will nor-
mally appear darker than the weld. Improved x-ray film readability usually can be obtained by slight over-exposure
at an excitation potential consistent with good x-ray practice, but not over 240 KV. For detailed information on
