Hi forum members. I recently had my first hands-on experience with a flaw detection gauge during a field inspection, and it felt both impressive and slightly overwhelming. There’s a lot going on in terms of settings and interpretation. For those who remember their first time, what helped you become comfortable using such equipment?

Hi. My first experience was very similar. What helped most was using the flaw detection gauge in real conditions, but without time pressure. We practiced on known samples and discussed results as a team. I also reviewed different detector types and applications beforehand using resources like https://teqto.pro/flaw-detectors That background knowledge made the field experience much smoother.

Thanks, that’s encouraging to hear.
