The use of lead screens has no significant effect on film graininess. However, graininess is affected by processing conditions, being directly related to the degree of development. For instance, if development time is increased for the purpose of increasing film speed, the graininess of the resulting image is likewise increased. Conversely, a developer or developing technique that results in an appreciable decrease in graininess will also cause an appreciable loss in film speed. However, adjustments made in development technique to compensate for changes in temperature or activity of a developer will have little effect on graininess. Such adjustments are made to achieve the same degree of development as would be obtained in the fresh developer at a standard processing temperature, and therefore the graininess of the film will be essentially unaffected. Another source of the irregular density in uniformly exposed areas is the screen mottle encountered in radiography with the fluorescent screens. The screen mottle increases markedly as hardness of the radiation increases. This is one of the factors that limits the use of fluorescent screens at high voltage and with gamma rays.

Penetrameters A standard test piece is usually included in every radiograph as a check on the adequacy of the radiographic technique. The test piece is commonly referred to as a penetrameter in North America and an Image Quality Indicator (IQl) in Europe. The penetrameter (or lQI) is made of the same material, or a similar material, as the specimen being radiographed, and is of a simple geometric form. It contains some small structures (holes, wires, etc), the dimensions of which bear some numerical relation to the thickness of the part being tested. The image of the penetrameter on the radiograph is permanent evidence that the radiographic examination was conducted under proper conditions. Codes or agreements between customer and vendor may specify the type of penetrameter, its dimensions, and how it is to be employed. Even if penetrameters are not specified, their use is advisable, because they provide an effective check of the overall quality of the radiographic inspection.
