[PSUBS-MAILIST] X-Ray and Dye Testing



What is the cost of x-ray testing and/or dye testing a length of weld? I would like to know:

How much the equipment costs to purchase and/or to rent, and how much the consumables (x-ray film? Chemicals?) costs, and if the operator must be certified, etc...

I suppose the welds must be tested as the vessel is constructed... if only for accessibility reasons. Is that true?

How much would it cost me to have all the welds in a K-350 fully tested, and can I do it myself with the proper equipment or must I hire the testing out?

Please pardon my ignorance,

Chuck

P.S. Carsten, did you have the welds in the Euronaut tested? If so, what percentage of the hull's cost went into testing? Did you have to have any of the welding ground out and re-done?
