Nasrin Azari is the president and CEO of Floodlight Software. She sat down with Michelle Bangert, managing editor at Quality, to discuss transitioning from manual operations to a well-structured digital format.

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.

Advanced metrology tools once confined to controlled environments are now becoming portable and fast, enabling high-precision measurements and nondestructive testing in heavy industrial facilities during live operations or tight shutdowns.

Best known as a manufacturer and global supplier of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and more recently laser scanning sensors, LK Metrology Ltd, based in Castle Donington, UK, announced the acquisition of ProCon X-Ray GmbH, a specialist German manufacturer of computed tomography (CT) systems.

Wabtec Corporation announced that it completed the acquisition of Evident’s Inspection Technologies division (Inspection Technologies), formerly part of the Scientific Solutions Division of Olympus Corporation, a leader in Non-Destructive Testing, Remote Visual Inspection and Analytical Instruments solutions for mission critical assets.

Human error is inevitable, but nondestructive testing (NDT) helps prevent disasters by meticulously checking materials and components, ensuring their readiness and averting potential losses of lives and finances.

In this article, I will explore the basic principles of phased array ultrasonic inspection and predominantly its applications within the aerospace sector.

The Resonance Acoustic Method (RAM) is a long-standing nondestructive test (NDT) that measures the structural responses of a part. These responses are a set of unique and measurable natural frequency (resonance) data.

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.

Nondestructive testing of large components can be time consuming and requires several people to work quickly to minimize the impact of testing on the large component manufacturing process.
