German term

Durchstrahlungsprüfung

German to English Tech/Engineering Nuclear Eng/Sci
The text relates to measuring instruments for detecting radioactive material. Ernst has "radiographic test" and "radiation test" as translations, but I'm unsure which - if either - of these is correct in this context:

"Entwicklung kundenspezifischer Lösungen zur Messung und Automatisierung für Sonderaufgaben, wie z.B. die Durchstrahlungsprüfung von Werkstoffen"
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 radiographic test[ing]
4 Radiation Test

Discussion

but also other Strahlen and that's why it is called Durchstrahlung simply. Examination by means of Strahlen.
Daniela Hubrich Jun 27, 2005:
Belinda - Durchstrahlungspr�fung does not want to detect radioactive material but is done in order to examine the volume, the interior of bodies, material. It is what is generally called R�ntgenpr�fung but can be done not only with R�ntgenstrahlen

Selected

radiographic test[ing]

In this context, >>radiation<< test - with several possible meanings - is too nonspecific. >>Radiogaphic<< test[ing] (industrial radiography) is specific to using radiography in testing materials by transmission of radiation from an industrial radiation source (x-ray or radionuclide) to a detector/receptor/imaging system.

This seems the best way of transalting the term to me. It also gets about 17,000 hits on Google.
Hope it helps you. :-)
