Applications & Technology

NDT Innovations applies a variety of Non-Destructive Testing techniques uniquely tailored for each application required by our customers. The techniques we can offer our customers can range from the most conventional such as Conventional UT (CUT), VT, PT, MT, eddy current, Industrial radiography, thermography; to more advanced techniques such as Advanced Ultrasonic Phased Array and Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD), RFT, Eddy Current Array, NFT, MFL, Rotary Internal Inspection System (IRIS), Digital RT and Guided Waves.

We also offer other specialized Application dependent techniques. Include Scanning Electron Microscopy, PMI, Laser Verification and Metrology, Hydrostatic Testing, Failure Analysis, and Materials Characterization..

Non Destructive Testing

The terms Nondestructive Examination (NDE), Nondestructive Inspection (NDI), and Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) are also commonly used to describe these techniques. Because NDT does not permanently alter the physical conditions of the piece being inspected, it is a highly valuable technique that can save both money and time in product assessment, troubleshooting, and research. Some NDT methods include ultrasonic, electromagnetic, radiographic, remote visual inspection, guided waves, magnetic particle, penetrant testing, etc. All these methods have been subject to significant improvements during the last decade, therefore making available more accurate tools in the field of materials examinations.

Advantages of Advanced Ultrasonic (AUT) and other advanced NDT technologies:
  • Higher POD, Resolution & Sensitivity.
  • Accurate location, characterization, and sizing of defects.
  • Reduced inspection times compared to conventional methods.
  • Permanent Digital Records. Potential for reduced manpower.
  • Greater penetration than conventional radiography (large thickness).
  • Root, cap, and mid-wall coverage simultaneously in a one-line scan.
  • Flexibility- easily adjustable to varying diameters, thicknesses, and weld configurations.
  • Full A-scan raw data with imaging and post processing.
  • Excellent replacement for conventional radiography with almost no radiation hazard!
