NDT Testing
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a range of analysis techniques used to assess the properties and integrity of materials, components, or systems without causing any damage. Unlike destructive testing, which involves breaking or altering a specimen to determine its characteristics, NDT enables inspection while allowing the object to remain fully operational. This makes it an invaluable practice for maintaining the safety, performance, and reliability of critical components across industries such as aerospace, manufacturing, construction, and power generation.
What is its working procedure:
Selection of Method
The right NDT technique is chosen based on the material, type of component, and the nature of defects expected.
Preparation of the Surface
The inspection area is carefully prepared by removing any dirt, grease, or surface coatings that could interfere with the test.
Application of Testing Technique
The chosen NDT method is applied using specialised equipment like ultrasonic probes, X-ray machines etc.
Documentation & Reporting
Findings are recorded in inspection reports, which include defect locations, severity, and recommendations.
