1. Can Ultrasonic testing be used in place of radiography testing or x-ray? Both Ultrasonic(UT) and radiography (RT) detects internal defects in casting and welds. But, the type of flaws detectable in both the methods are different. Because, UT detects flaws of planar in nature, where as RT detects volumetric flaws. Therefore, UT cannot replace […]
