Non Destructive Testing All You Need To Know About It

By: PearlStreet Limited Home | Business


Non destructive testing is a technique used for evaluating, analysing, and examining the properties of a material, component, or structure to detect early damage before the failure occurs. The non destructive testing results in cost benefits and ensures safety and reliability for the plant.

Abbreviated as NDT, the non destructive testing is used at practically every stage in the production or manufacturing of varied components in engineering areas, power generation, automotive, petrochemical, aerospace, and many other industries and markets. Usually, the non destructive testing methods include Visual inspection, Radiographic examination (gamma ray & x-ray) , Ultrasonic flaw detection , Ultrasonic thickness testing , Magnetic particle testing , Dye penetrant testing , Eddy current testing , Holiday testing of coatings , and Hydrostatic testing.

The advanced NDT methods include Internal rotary inspection system (IRIS) tube testing , Automated pipeline testing , Ultrasonic corrosion scanning / corrosion mapping , Inspection under insulation (Lixi profiler / flash radiography) ,Time of flight diffraction (TOFD) ultrasonic testing ,Phased array (PA) ultrasonic testing, Bore oxide measurement , Remote field eddy current testing, Electromagnetic tube testing (Centest) , Electromagnetic-acoustic transducer tube testing (EMATS) , Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) testing (including floor mapping), Alternating current field measurement (ACFM) , Digital radiography, and Small contained area radiography (SCAR).

The results of the non destructive testing depend largely on personal qualification and skill of the NDT engineer. Adequate training and certification allows the non destructive engineer to successfully exploit the techniques of NDT and thereby assess and explain the test results efficiently and correctly.
