Each technique has its advantages and limitations and it is essential that they are applied on a validated procedural basis and according to reference standards (such as EN ISO, ASME, API etc.). The choice of technology depends on the type of system, the material to be inspected and the accessibility of the defect. A good NDT provider will be able to recommend the right method for every need.
