PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ-Mistras Group Inc., provider of nondestructive testing products and services, has acquired Controlled Vibrations Inc. (CVI, Doylestown, PA).
BENSENVILLE, IL-The Quality Measurement Conference (formerly MMCW) will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2008, with the inaugural Quality NDT Conference taking place in conjunction.
Once again, business trips led me to Florida and Michigan. A recent Thursday and Friday were spent in Lake Buena Vista, FL, and on Monday I was back at the airport at dawn for my flight to Detroit.
Industrial computed tomography (CT) is a unique nondestructive evaluation technique for inspecting interior structures of test objects. While computed tomography has long been used by radiologists for medical diagnostics applications, industrial CT brings the same technique to inspection applications.
For an ISO 10328 test system, Orion Test Systems & Engineering Inc. chose RMC75 two-axis motion controllers manufactured by Delta Computer Systems Inc. to excersice the device under test.
Innov-X installed two Fox-IQ On-line XRF analyzers at Sandvik Materials Technology. The analyzers are totally automated elemental analysis systems that provide fast, positive material identification.
Borescope and videoscope technologies have advanced dramatically since their beginnings. As such, a refresher of borescope technology evolution may be in order.
Magnetic particle inspection is a nondestructive test method that provides for the detection of linear, surface and near surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic (material that can be magnetized) test materials.
Ultrasonic flaw detection has been a valuable quality assurance tool for decades. Since the 1940s, inspectors have used the laws of physics that govern the propagation of sound waves through solid materials to detect hidden cracks, voids, porosity and other internal discontinuities in metals, composites, plastics and ceramics.
