Reference radiographs
Reference radiographs are intended to provide a guide enabling recognition of discontinuities and their differentiation both as to type and severity level, where applicable. They also provide example radiographic illustrations of discontinuities that are ungraded, for reference in acceptance standards, specifications and drawings.
Sets of reference radiographs from which purchasers and suppliers may, by mutual agreement, select particular illustrations to serve as standards representing minimum acceptability are provided. At the same time, the standards so established may be unambiguously identified by alphabetic defect category (or type) designation and severity level.
Note : Film Deterioration—Radiographic films are subject to wear and tear from handling and use. The extent to which the image deteriorates over time is a function of storage conditions, care in handling and amount of use. Reference radiograph films are no exception and may exhibit a loss in image quality over time. The radiographs should therefore be periodically examined for signs of wear and tear, including scratches, abrasions, stains, and so forth. Any reference radiographs which show signs of excessive wear and tear which could influence the interpretation and use of the radiographs should be replaced.

Reference Radiographs are data or material that supplement and support a standard but, due to their size, volume, physical makeup, or nature, are not included in the text of a standard. A complete list of available Reference Radiographs is listed below under Committee E07 on Nondestructive Testing.
