How Nondestructive Testing of Boiler Tubes Solves Major Challenges
Boiler tubes are a key component of steam power and as such are subjected to terrible force. This means that boiler tube weld inspection is crucial to keeping mission-critical operations safe. Over time, phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) has emerged as one of the best means of non-destructive testing (NDT) of boiler tubes. This technique allows for comprehensive inspections that reduce ...
