This article discusses the emergence and acceptance of manual eddy current weld inspection as a high quality and cost saving NDT method for in-service inspections. In a recent American Welding Society journal article on NDT, eddy current testing was not mentioned as a basic weld inspection method. In fact, it has become common in the European sector, and American oil and gas companies are now beginning to use eddy current. In this month`s column, the author compares the use of eddy current testing and magnetic particle testing (MT) for ferritic weld inspection.
