Which NDT method is best?

Currently, one of the best NDT methods, and the one most commonly used by NDT inspection service providers in Edmonton, is radiography testing. Radiography is a common NDT method used in the oil and gas sector, resulting in its popularity in Alberta.

However, additional surface flaw methods and ultrasonics are becoming popular due to advanced technologies that make them more reliable. Phased array ultrasonic testing, for example, is becoming a popular NDT method. PAUT (phased array ultrasonic testing) is an efficient and effective method that offers the greatest possibility of performing an inspection. Phased array technology has advantages over other methods, including conventional ultrasonic testing (UT), due to its ability to use multiple elements to guide, focus and scan using a single piece of equipment. This allows for the inspection of complex assets with greater ease and in less time.
