Non Destructive Testing

Thickness gauges and flaw detectors both use sound waves to interrogate material, yet they’re designed to answer different inspection questions. Choosing the right one depends less on the technology and more on the result that’s needed.

Choosing between conventional UT and PAUT depends on more than technology level. This article breaks down the practical factors that still make conventional ultrasonic flaw detectors a common field choice.

Most XRF analyzers don’t fail because they wear out—they fail because of a handful of avoidable situations. Here’s what typically goes wrong in the field, during transport, or during updates, and how to protect a tool that’s critical to your work.

Choose handheld XRF by license, not just hardware. Metals, Soils & Minerals, RoHS, Spectral & Small Spot explained—plus a clear decision matrix and subtle link paths.
