A.
Spot ultrasonic testing
B.
Profile radiographic testing
C.
Guided wave ultrasonic testing
D.
Angle beam ultrasonic testing
The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
API RP 571 notes under Sour Water Corrosion:
“Localized thinning or under-deposit corrosion in sour water services is best detected by profile radiography, which provides a visual comparison of wall thickness over a length of pipe.”
“This technique is especially useful for assessing localized metal loss due to under-deposit attack or flow regime effects.”
(Reference: API RP 571, Section 4.3.2.3 – Sour Water Corrosion)
Hence, profile radiographic testing is most effective, making option B correct.
