Can ultrasound testing detect fillet welds? Can radiographic testing detect fillet welds? Could someone summarize which welds can be detected by both X-rays and ultrasound? Which welds cannot be detected? Testing steps – and for on-site welding, should X-ray or ultrasonic testing be used?
Neither of these two methods is suitable for the inspection of fillet welds; surface inspection is generally used for fillet welds. Radiography is generally used for the inspection of butt welds. Ultrasound is suitable for the inspection of butt joints and deposited welds.
Ultrasonic testing can be used to inspect fillet welds; it is effective for detecting cracks. However, ultrasonic testing is not very sensitive to stainless steel. Radiographic testing is generally suitable only for detecting butt welds. Both ultrasonic and radiographic testing are used in on-site welding inspections
Did they say on the second floor that ultrasound cannot detect fillet welds?
Radiographic testing can be used to inspect fillet welds
Similarly, ultrasonic waves can also be used to inspect fillet welds
Both can detect fillet welds, but they have their limitations; not all fillet welds can be detected. It is relatively difficult to use RT for detecting fillet welds.
The person on the 5th floor is right; go and check 47013 yourself – it’s all there at the beginning! It's also important to distinguish between welding joints and welds!
The inspection standards include specific tables that provide comparisons of the various advantages and disadvantages
It can be detected. . . . But it is limited. . .
