RT-2 indicates?

• A. Spot RT
• B. Full RT
• C. Partial RT
• D. Investigative RT

Answer: (B)

Radiographic testing (RT) is about using penetrating radiation to inspect welds and material for defects. The designation RT-2 specifies the scope of the radiographic examination. RT-2 means full radiographic testing, where the entire weld length (and required features) is examined by radiography according to the applicable procedures. This level provides complete coverage to detect discontinuities throughout the weld. Spot RT would cover only selected spots, and partial RT would inspect only a portion of the weld, while investigative RT is used for diagnosing or examining a suspected issue rather than performing routine full coverage.
