HH-XRF can help manufacturers to streamline their quality control processes and ensure materials meet the requirements for demanding applications.

Does residual stress affect quality? The short answer is “yes.” The better question is, “How does residual stress affect quality?”

Ultrasonic testing technology has improved dramatically and continuously, now offering advanced imaging power with high resolution.

UniWest announced the introduction of the new EddyView® II portable eddy current flaw detector at the ASNT Annual 2022 Conference on October 31, 2022.

To advance its nondestructive testing (NDT) software innovation, Evident Corporation announced the opening of an office in Montreal, Canada that will house a new team of software design experts.

The evolution of NDT training has been an interesting and challenging trip. And along the way there have been issues that have not always been effectively addressed.

First, what is an NDT training program? Various codes and standards have varying definitions of exactly what is required for an NDT training program to be considered acceptable.

2D Radiography (x-ray), a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method, is applied in a multitude of manufacturing, repair industries, and in every type of inspection program. 2D X-ray is the most used NDT method outside of visual inspection.

Many of us are familiar with accuracy specifications pertaining to force measurement, usually a percentage of full scale or a percentage of reading. While this is broadly understood, the waters become a bit murkier in applications involving both force and distance measurements.

Manual or human manipulated NDT is still the primary means of performing Nondestructive Testing (NDT) in unique or one-off applications. Mechanical aids and/or computer assisted manipulation and scanning devices can reduce data gathering time on the site of the item being inspected.
