Hi everyone. I’m currently involved in comparing several inspection solutions for an upcoming project, and I’m trying to approach it as practically as possible. There’s a lot of marketing material out there, but less real discussion about how ndt tools perform in day-to-day conditions. I’m especially interested in how others compare usability, reliability, and long-term value without relying only on manufacturer claims. Any tips or real-life approaches would be appreciated.

Hi. What worked for us was stepping back from brand names and focusing on categories first. When we looked at ndt equipment as a group of methods rather than individual devices, things became clearer. Browsing structured catalogues like ndt equipment helped us understand what options exist for specific inspection tasks and what features actually matter in practice. After that, comparing tools became much more objective and less confusing.

Thanks, that sounds like a very grounded way to approach it.
