When it comes to the production of automobiles, trucks, heavy-duty equipment, off-road vehicles and farm equipment, early detection and resolution of even the smallest leaks are key to minimizing recall-related expenses.

Sansera Engineering in India manufactures components for the automotive and aerospace industries. The quality requirements for engine parts are extremely high and always pose new challenges for Sansera.

Not long ago, a manufacturer of needles for medical syringes was in the middle of another shift of quality assurance testing. The test involved three individuals side-by-side, with each grabbing the needles off the line and physically inserting them into a drill “chuck,” piercing a rubber slab to simulate the piercing of human skin.

Handheld XRF (HHXRF) is the go-to tool for QA/QC, alloy identification and failure analysis of incoming and in-use standard industrial metals and alloys. Advancements in technology and data analysis software now make it an indispensable tool for non-standard and challenging QA/QC situations. 

Short range guided wave testing (SRGWT) is an application of guided ultrasonic sound waves using special types of probes. When the guided waves hit the discontinuities, the mode converted sound is reflected back and received by the transducer.

Before selecting an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, consider what you want to achieve. For example, if you are looking to confirm alloy grades for incoming goods QC, you will want to know what the important element in those grades should be.

After consulting with numerous NDT experts and inspectors, Magnaflux is expanding their line of LED UV lamps for non-destructive testing with the ST700 overhead inspection LED UV light, which is specifically designed to eliminate or prevent some of the most common challenges around UV illumination in fluorescent NDT testing.

The FISCHERSCOPE® X-RAY XAN® 500 is lightweight and mobile for quick and accurate nondestructive coating thickness measurement and compositional analysis.
