Nondestructive testing - NDT - use test methods to examine an object, material or system
without impairing its future usefulness. Non-destructive testing is often required to verify the
quality of a product or a system. Commonly used techniques are
ET - Electromagnetic Testing
Electromagnetic testing is the process of inducing electric currents and/or magnetic fields inside
a test object and observing the response. A defect in the test object may be detected where
electromagnetic interference creates a measurable response.
LT - Leak Testing
Techniques used to detect and locate leaks in pressure containment parts, pressure vessels,
and structures. Leaks can be detected by using liquid and gas penetration techniques,
electronic listening devices, pressure gauge measurements or soap-bubble tests.
MT - Magnetic Particle Testing
Magnetic particle testing is accomplished by inducing a magnetic field in a ferromagnetic
material and then dusting the surface with iron particles. The surface will produce magnetic
poles and distort the magnetic field in such a way that the iron particles are attracted and
concentrated making defects on the surface of the material visible.
RT - Radiographic Testing
Radiographic testing can be used to detect internal defects in castings, welds or forgings by
exposure the construction to x-ray or gamma ray radiation. Defects are detected by differences
in radiation absorption in the material as seen on a shadow graph displayed on photographic
film or a fluorescent screen.
UT - Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic testing uses high frequency sound energy to conduct examinations and make
measurements. Ultrasonic inspection can be used for flaw detection/evaluation, dimensional
measurements, material characterization, and more.
