What is Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)> Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a testing and analysis technique used by industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, structure or system for characteristic differences or welding defects and discontinuities without causing damage to the original part. NDT also known as non-destructive examination (NDE), non-destructive inspection (NDI) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE).
What is the Difference Between Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing Destructive testing destroys or changes the part in some way such that even if it passes the test it is no longer fit for service. Examples might be tensile testing, 3 point bend test or macro sectioning. NDT does not destroy or change the part such that it is still fit for service if it passes the test.
What are the Advantages of using NDT There are a number of distinct advantages, the most obvious of which is that the pieces being tested are left undamaged by the process, allowing for an item to be repaired rather than replaced should any problems be found. It is also a very safe testing method for operators, with most techniques being harmless to humans, although some types of test - such as radiographic testing - still need to be conducted under strict conditions. This testing technique can also help prevent injury or fatalities by ensuring structures, components and machinery is safe.
Digital Radiography - Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Non-destructive testing is also a very accurate way of inspection since the tests are repeatable and a number of tests can be used together to correlate results. These testing methods are also economical. Unlike destructive testing, NDT is cost effective as it can prevent the need to replace an item before malfunction occurs without destroying the piece itself. This testing technique also offers operators peace of mind, knowing that equipment is functioning as it should, preventing future accidents and determining any measures that can be taken for life extension. It is also useful for testing of welds and verification of welding procedures to ensure that a welding process has been completed to the correct specification within the bounds of quality control, for example to make sure that the base metal has reached the correct temperature, cooled at the specific rate and that compatible materials have been used to prevent welding defects.
Radiography : is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object. Applications of radiography include medical radiography and industrial radiography. Similar techniques are used in airport security
Liquid Penetrant Testing : The handbook outlines the principles, equipment, materials maintenance, methodology, and interpretation skills necessary for liquid penetration testing.
Industrial radiography :Industrial radiography is a modality of non-destructive testing that uses ionizing radiation to inspect materials and components with the objective of locating and quantifying defects and degradation in material properties that would lead to the failure of engineering structures.
Visual inspection : Visual inspection is a common method of quality control, data acquisition, and data analysis. Visual Inspection, used in maintenance of facilities, mean inspection of equipment and structures using either or all of raw human senses such as vision, hearing, touch and smell and/or any non-specialized inspection equipment. Inspections requiring Ultrasonic, X-Ray equipment, Infra-red, etc. are not typically regarded as visual inspection as these Inspection methodologies require specialized equipment, training and certification
Magnetic particle inspection : Magnetic particle Inspection is a nondestructive testing process for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic field into the part.
Eddy-current testing : Eddy-current testing is one of many electromagnetic testing methods used in nondestructive testing making use of electromagnetic induction to detect and characterize surface and sub-surface flaws in conductive materials.
Infrared and thermal testing : Infrared and thermal testing refer to passive thermographic inspection techniques, a class of nondestructive testing designated by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing. Infrared thermography is the science of measuring and mapping surface temperatures.
Ultrasonic testing : Ultrasonic testing is a family of non-destructive testing techniques based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the object or material tested.
Ultrasound : Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz. This frequency is the approximate upper audible limit of human hearing in healthy young adults. The physical principles of acoustic waves apply to any frequency range, including ultrasound.
Dye penetrant inspection : Dye penetrant inspection, also called liquid penetrate inspection or penetrant testing, is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to check surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials.
