NDT-RAM Version 6 is software for the company’s resonant acoustic method (NDT-RAM) systems that enables improved acquisition, analysis, viewing and organization of criteria setup and validation.
The first documented use of composite materials was most likely in ancient Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs. Workers were using straw and mud to make building materials. When talking about composite materials today, one usually refers to advanced materials used either in aerospace, military, and racing or automotive applications.
At some point, manufacturers will find themselves in this situation: they have to test their new product in manufacturing-the question is how to do it.
Traditional pressure decay testing assumes a test item can be pressurized. If the item is open, it can be pressurized and tested without destroying it. However, when the test item is already sealed, it must be accessed through the barrier materials or through the body of the product itself, and it becomes a destructive test.
Decisions, decisions… Professional NDT Level IIIs are always faced with deciding which nondestructive testing method is the most appropriate for the specific problem at hand.
