Basics
NDT-Destructive Testing is the Synergism of Science and Engineering to create methods of testing that leave the item under test totally undamaged. This means that the component can continue to be used and that the non-destructive Testing method has done no harm.
NDT can be used to ensure the quality right from raw material stage through fabrication and processing to pre-service and In-service inspection. Apart from ensuring the structural integrity, quality and reliability of components and plants, today NDT finds extensive applications for condition monitoring, residual life assessment, energy audit etc.
Need for NDT
A Doctor testing a patient; a Scientist/Engineer/Technician tests the fitness of the material.Thus, NDT is necessary. The need to ensure safety, NDT can be used to improve output and profitability. A component /structure/machine can be tested many times using several types of tests through the complete life cycle to ensure its continued integrity.
Choosing the right method and techniques is an important part of the performance of NDT
Industry Parlance
NDT is the keyword for Quality in industries. NDT is used in a variety of settings that covers a wide range of industrial activity, with new NDT methods and applications, being continuously developed. NDT services are not only integrated with Asset Integrity Management (AIM) solutions, but also with Material Testing laboratories and seamlessly fit into Supply Chain services.
Some of the areas where NDT is widely practiced are:
- Automotive
- Engine parts
- Frame
- Aviation maintenance companies use Nondestructive Testing (NDT) to inspect or detect cracks, flaws or imperfections in engine parts. Aerospace
- Airframes
- Spaceframes
- Powerplants
- Propellers
- Reciprocating Engines
- Gas turbine engines
- Rocketry
- Construction
- Structures
- Bridges
- Cover Meter
