Riser Bolt Inspection with Creo Bolt Scanner

A027 Intro

11th April 2023

Sonatest performed Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing on one Riser Bolt. A TFM scan was also implemented to increase resolution and flaw fidelity. The bolt can be tested from either end, without removing the bolt from production for testing.
