Abstract
Before starting on the details of the principles and techniques of industrial radiology, it will be useful to offer some general comments on the inherent capabilities and limitations of NDT, particularly in relation to flaw detection. Although most NDT methods are used for many applications other than flaw detection, for example, checking the correctness of construction of assemblies, measuring components and spacings, measuring thickness, coatings etc., flaw detection in both metals and non-metals, particularly in welds, is a major application.
