Across the oil & gas sector and wider energy industries, weld integrity remains a cornerstone of asset safety, operational reliability, and regulatory compliance.
Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) group announced the launch of the INDUSTREX Fieldview Tablet, a rugged industrial tablet designed to simplify digital radiographic (DR) imaging in the field.
Carestream’s Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) group announced worldwide availability for a new bendable digital radiography (DR) detector with physical properties to markets in need of capturing images around curved surfaces.
Conformable/flexible digital detector array (DDA) panels are revolutionizing industrial radiography by enabling comprehensive imaging of complex shapes across sectors like aerospace, oil and gas, automotive, construction, and electronics. This technology improves nondestructive testing and image quality, supported by key ASTM standards.
If the supply of qualified personnel is inadequate to meet the needs of industry there will be greater efforts to automate and utilize artificial intelligence to perform and evaluate NDT.
Manual methods of performing nondestructive testing (NDT) and human evaluation of the results are rapidly being replaced by automated, digitized, and artificial intelligence interpretation of the results wherever economically feasible.
The titanium-tungsten puzzle isn’t just a testament to the value of radiographic NDT, but also a reminder of the NDT’s ever-evolving relevance in shaping the future of manufacturing.
For an optimal digital workflow in radiographic testing (RT), the X-ray inspection software D-Tect X can be integrated with the NDT management software DRIVE NDT.
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.
Manual means of performing NDT and human evaluation of the results is trending more and more to automated, digitized and artificial intelligence interpretation of the results whenever economically possible.
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.
