Another VERY informative meeting with the lab manager and two of the NDT techs at TEAM. They also agree that radiography will be a better test to identify defects within the barrel wall, and can do elliptical views to isolate the wall (amazing!)
We are going to start with MPI, then will x-ray any abnormalities seen by MPI, then x-ray normal barrel, then x-ray the bulge, and generate images for publication of everything.

One of the techs was so excited that he headed back to the lab to start even before I was out the door smile
