Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods for Pipe Fittings

Quality assurance of pipe fittings relies on advanced NDT techniques to detect hidden defects:

• Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Evaluates internal cracks in thick-walled fittings.

• Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI): Detects surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic fittings.

• Radiographic Testing (RT): Used for welded pipe fittings in nuclear power and high-pressure piping.
