CommunityNDT CareersCompaniesLearnMembershipsThe difference between PAUT and TOFD lies in the response of the physical principle (Ultrasound) that generates any discontinuity in the material. PAUT is based on the reflection of an ultrasonic wave and TOFD is based on the response of the diffracted wave at the tip of an indication.
