Disadvantages of Radiography
Radiation safety hazards
Licensing and training costs
Disruption of work area/extra movement of parts
Chemical wastes/Consumable costs
Film deterioration
Slow Speed
Lower Probability of detection
Lack of vertical plane sizing - usually can’t apply ECA criteria
Repair can be hindered
Subjective interpretation/weakness in finding critical flaws
– Thickness/depth/TOF
What is AUT
What is AUT
• Automated Ultrasonics
Better Inspection
– Overcomes Access limitations
– Better detection and sizing of flaws through the
use of focused multi angle inspections
– Easier characterization of flaws and geometry
– Reducing dependence on the skill of the
operator
– Ability to record digital data and retain inspection
records
– Typically allows one line scans and reduced
footprint/mechanics
