What information is to be shown on the radiograph?

• A. Owner's contact information only
• B. Owners contact ID, Initials of the radiograph company, initials of the fabricator, shop order number, radiographic ID number, date, and weld repair number if applicable
• C. Weld size and material grade only
• D. Date and operator certification number only

Answer: (B)

Radiographs used in welding inspection must be clearly identified so each image can be tied to the exact weld and project. The required markings provide a complete audit trail: the owner's contact information for record-keeping, the radiography company initials, the fabricator's initials, the shop order number that links the weld to production, the radiographic ID number for the film, the date of exposure, and, if applicable, the weld repair number indicating any rework and reexposure. This combination lets inspectors, clients, and auditors verify which weld is depicted, when it was made, who performed the radiography, and whether any repairs occurred. Other options miss essential identifiers, such as the radiographic ID, date, or shop order, so the image cannot be reliably traced to the correct weld or project.
