RE: Weld Testing
VERY basic breakdown of what I normally see in the power industry:
MT or LP on fillet welds, seal welds, attachments, etc, LP obviously getting the nod for non-magnetic materials.
RT on most of your critical, full pen welds, with UT being the alternative to RT when factors don't permit it to be performed successfully, such as joint configuration, geometric unsharpness levels, etc. Rarely will you see RT or UT being done voluntarily for time/cost reasons in the field.

Many of the welding consumable manufacturers (Lincoln, ESAB, etc.) have educational materials on their sites. This will turn up in a web search.
