What is the most commonly used method of weld inspection?

There are two commonly used methods of weld inspection – Radiographic Testing (RT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT).

Both of these weld inspection methods are non-destructive and can be used to detect internal imperfections. These methods are versatile and can detect very slight flaws in a weld or component.

Both Radiographic Testing and Ultrasonic Testing require skilled NDT inspectors to perform the examination and analysis. Professional and certified welding inspectors will ensure reliable results that help to maintain asset integrity. With the help of organizations that offer NDT inspection services for CSA Standard W178.1, companies can avoid detrimental damages and costs caused by unexpected asset failure.
