The quality of the welds is guaranteed by non - destructive tests, these are used to determine characteristics, properties (physical - chemical tests), dimensions (metrological tests) and behavior of parts or equipments (functional tests). They can be volumetric: they allow to evaluate the whole volume of the part (Tests by x-ray, ultrasound and induced currents), or subsurface: they allow to evaluate some areas of the part (Test by magnetoscopy), or superficial: they allow to evaluate only the surface areas of the part (Penetrant Liquid Tests).
