The First Line of Defense: Visual Inspection
Visual Testing (VT) is the most common and cost-effective method of non-destructive testing (NDT). A thorough visual inspection, conducted before, during, and after welding, can identify a huge percentage of potential problems before they require more complex and expensive testing methods. A certified welding inspector (CWI) is trained to spot these issues, but this checklist provides a valuable guide for anyone involved in welding quality control.
