Erosion Survey by 20/20 NDT Combines Radiographic & Ultrasonic Testing

2020NDT October 21, 2016

Our process of conducting an erosion survey combines Shadow Shot Radio and Ultrasonic Testing (UT). Using both methods allow us to inspect 17” of pipe at a time.   20/20 NDT’s process of conducting an erosion survey uses a combined method of Shadow Shot Radiographic and Ultrasonic Testing (UT).
