Up Topic Welding Industry / Technical Discussions / Ultrasonic testing or Radiography testing which one first

Dear All,
  
I have a doubt, whether to apply Ultrasonic or radiography testing first
Is there a sequence to apply these both in any code or any advantages to follow the sequence.

Please help

Few codes require both RT and UT. It is usually one or the other.

When both are done on the same joint, it is generally more economical to make sure the weld is UT acceptable before RT, simply because UT is generally simpler to perform and less expensive than RT.
