                                   Method uses -  Is used as a quantitative verification to
                                                         to ensure materials used meet the requirements
                                                         and match the certification by the mill.

Ferrite Testing - 
Evaluate ferrite content using the comparison method.
                
Permeability Testing -
Evaluate permeability of material using the comparison method.
                  
Radiation Detection - 
Evaluate Materials for Radioactive contamination. 

Visual Weld Inspection - AWS Certified Weld Inspectors when needed.
