ToFD – Time of Flight DiffractionToFD was first developed in the late 1970’s for crack sizing but is also an excellent tool for the inspection of welds, in particular heavy welds. It is fully accepted in the ASME code for the inspection of boiler and pressure vessel welds in lieu of X-Ray. It also a great tool for the detection and sizing of cracks such as ERW welds in pipeline long seams.
