NON DESTRUCTIVE
TESTING
What is NDT?
The use of noninvasive
techniques to determine
the integrity of a material,
component or structure
or
quantitatively measure
some characteristic of
an object.
i.e. Inspect or measure without doing harm.

Methods of NDT
Visual
Nondestructive Testing
Non-Destructive Testing can be performed by
numerous techniques. The most commonly applied
techniques today are:
VISUAL TESTING
MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING
ULTRASONIC TESTING
RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING
Visual Testing
Also known as Visual Inspection, VT is the
one NDT method used extensively to evaluate
the condition or the quality of a weld or
component. It is easily carried out, inexpensive
and usually doesn't require special equipment.

Ultrasonic (UT)
Testing
Ultrasonic inspection uses sound waves of short
wavelength and high frequency to detect flaws or
measure material thickness.
It is used to test welds, castings and wrought
products, e.g. rolled plate or forgings. Manual and
immersion techniques are employed.

Ultrasonic Imaging
Radiographic
(X-Ray) Testing
Also known as x-radiography and gamma
radiography.
X-rays are produced by high voltage x-ray machines,
whereas gamma rays are produced from radioactive
isotopes such as Iridium 192 and Cobalt 60.
Radiographic
(X-Ray) Testing
The x-ray or gamma rays are placed close to the
material to be inspected and they pass through the
material and are then captured on film.
This film is then processed and the image is
obtained as a series of grey shades between black
and white.
Gamma sources have the advantage of portability
which makes them ideal for use in site working.
Radiographic Testing
(X-Ray)
Film Radiography
The part is placed between the
radiation source and a piece of film.
The part will stop some of the
radiation. Thicker and more dense
area will stop more of the radiation.
