Have you ever encountered it, using two probes of the same type to detect the same

We know that small-scale errors are allowed in non-destructive testing, But why is
there a significant difference in detecting the same defect?

1. on-demand on-demand measurement
With the continuous development of industrial manufacturing, new technologies and new materials
emerge one after another. The ever-changing requirements of work pieces structure, application
environment and automated production line have put forward the individual requirements of
“on-demand, on-demand measurement” for non-destructive testing. And this situation is testing the
technical strength of non-destructive testing companies and the ability to apply overall solutions,
which is also an important factor in your choice of M2.
