Some modern NDT technology has ancient roots. Hundreds of years ago, foundry workers used sound waves to test the integrity of metal castings by tapping them with a hammer...
Ultrasonic technology has been a standard inspection technology for decades; it is a reliable means to nondestructively gage the thickness of materials. With advances in electronics and digital signal...
Internal reflections within ultrasonic transducers are a source of false signals that remain static on the screen of the ultrasonic testing machine, causing obstruction and hindrance in the detection...
Selecting the right inspection equipment poses challenges for both service companies that need to maximize use of their ultrasound inspection units and asset owners across multiple industries that seek...
What is the source of an indication? Does the reflector result from weld geometry or an actual discontinuity? Once it has been determined that an indication is from a...
Conventional Radiography Will Continue to Have a Place in NDT, but Digital and Computed Radiography is the Future Digital forms of industrial radiographic inspections take many forms, commonly called...
Most everyone is aware of changes affecting our everyday lives due to the evolution of digital technology. Primarily, the health care industry has taken the lead in implementing digital...
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a critical practice across multiple industries, and the development of non-film radiography provides enormous, yet currently untapped, potential to share these images widely and maximize...
Radiographic Testing (RT) is a nondestructive testing (NDT) method used to aid in looking below the surface of any given material for irregularities. When radiography was discovered and first...
Radiographs have been interpreted since Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen first observed the X-ray of his wife’s hand back in 1896. The process of radiographic interpretation consists of many variables with...
