Quality Surveillance Training Weld Defects Seen in Radiographs Radiograph images of weld defects Radiographic images are used to help engineers better understand the types of defects that can be viewed within radiographic images. These images are samples of typical weld defects with brief descriptions of the nature of the weld defect. Inadequate / Lack of Penetration Incomplete Penetration (IP) or lack of penetration (LOP) occurs when the weld metal fails to penetrate the joint. It is one of the most objectionable weld discontinuities. Lack of penetration allows a natural stress riser from whi
