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

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). Ultrasonic thickness readings alone only cover […]
