Interpretation To interpret and evaluate radiographs in order to determine the quality of castings and to accept the part or route for repair according to customer and PCC specifications. A. Visually evaluate radiographic indications to determine if casting or welding discontinuities exist. B. Interpret identified discontinuities to determine their cause and/or whether they meet customer specifications. C. Interpret and identify surface and subsurface discontinuities per customer specifications. D. Evaluate parts with repeat problem areas; consult with engineering as appropriate. E. Mark problem areas on parts needing repair; may request additional radiographs to further evaluate indications; routes for repair on rework routing cards; may decide on or recommend necessary repairs. F. Sign and stamp reports for acceptance of parts as determined by interpreter. G. Review weld maps to ensure all welds have been radiographed. H.
