The radiation produced by X-ray tubes and by isotopes such as Iridium 192 and Cobalt 60 can look through welds to reveal discontinuities invisible to the human eye. The soundness of critical joints is laid bare on the radiographic film. The radiographer can then interpret the indications on the film and measure any discontinuity against the acceptance criteria of the applicable code. Repairs can be made as necessary. The radiographs are a permanent record of weld quality. 3, record 2, English, - discontinuity

La discontinuité désigne un phénomène observé au cours de la phylogenèse d'une même espèce : souvent, dans une série de fossiles, des formes intermédiaires semblent faire défaut. Leur transformation s'est donc effectuée par bonds successifs d'une forme à une autre : il y a discontinuité morphologique dans la lignée. En paléontologie, c'est cette forme d'évolution que l'on rencontre le plus souvent; l'évolution lente y est très rarement remarquée. 1, record 3, French, - discontinuit%C3%A9
