Advanced non-destructive testing methods
Many new techniques of Advanced NDT testing have been developed recently. These techniques provide the possibility to inspect the deterioration of many facilities. Some of these techniques are faster and offers lots of details comparing to conventional methods. Overall, the new techniques create less sensitive results comparing to conventional methods. These methods contain additional facilities which provides inspection of inaccessible points.
