In part one of this three-part series, we explore why PMI is a vital nondestructive testing method for quality assurance and safety.

Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is one of the oldest, widely used and important methods of nondestructive testing (NDT) available today.

The implosion of the Titan submersible is just one instance of tragedy that NDT might have been able to prevent.

In the realm of material science and engineering, the evaluation of material strength is crucial. One of the key methods for this purpose is compression testing.

Offering a major advantage over conventional ultrasonic testing, PAUT provides 2D image representations of flaws in a weld as opposed to a mere A-scan signal that could be challenging to interpret.

As an inspector at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) there are opportunities to perform inspections on unique and one-of-a-kind products that make one feel special and proud to be part of such a great team.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has been forging ahead rapidly in both technological capabilities and industry adoption in recent years. 

The eddy current scanning solution that was developed for hard to access HPCR spool areas represents a reliable inspection platform that produced repeatable results.

Industrial X-ray and computed tomography (CT) inspection solutions address the challenges for battery manufacturers to scale up production volumes while maintaining high quality and can lead to major competitive advantages.

Eddy current technology is evolving with improved detection of both surface and subsurface flaws along with defining critical material attributes.
