What is Nondestructive Testing / NDT ?
The field of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is a very broad,
interdisciplinary field that plays a critical role in assuring that
structural components and systems perform their function in a reliable
and cost effective fashion. NDT technicians and engineers define and
implement tests that locate and characterize material conditions and
flaws that might otherwise cause planes to crash, reactors to fail,
trains to derail, pipelines to burst, and a variety of less visible,
but equally troubling events. These tests are performed in a manner
that does not affect the future usefulness of the object or material.
In other words, NDT allows parts and material to be inspected and
measured without damaging them. Because it allows inspection without
interfering with a product's final use, NDT provides an excellent
balance between quality control and cost-effectiveness. Generally
speaking, NDT applies to industrial inspections. Technology that is
used in NDT is similar to those used in the medical industry; yet,
typically nonliving objects are the subjects of the inspections.
NDT Method Summary
No single NDT method will work for all flaw detection or measurement
applications. Each of the methods has advantages and disadvantages
when compared to other methods. The table below summarizes the scientific
principles, common uses and the advantages and disadvantages for some
of the most often used NDT methods.
