NDT has become a critical necessity in order to meet the demanding requirements from users of high-quality round stock bar and tube.
Automotive manufacturers require that all mission critical parts must be manufactured from the highest quality material available to the raw material purchaser. Many ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials), API (American Petroleum Institute) and EN (European) specifications exist because the manufacturers of these parts must assure their customers that they meet all quality requirements. This means that they conform to the standards, and that the raw stock manufacturer has done everything in their power to not only meet the “letter” standard, but to also meet each customer’s unique quality requirements.
