Flaw Detection (NDT)

Flaw detection covers a family of methods — ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle, penetrant, eddy current and radiography — and each is matched to a particular flaw type and access condition under its own standard, so the opening question is which method suits the defect that concerns you. Where the answer is ultrasonic, the choice that follows is a focused one: a compact range of portable ultrasonic flaw detectors, the same instrument family that also gauges remaining wall thickness on one-sided access. If ultrasonic is the right fit for your flaw and your access, the guide below names the detector to reach for.
