What is Radiographic Testing (RT)

Posted on 30 July 2008

(RT) Radiographic Testing, or industrial radiography, is a nondestructive testing (NDT) method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by using the ability of short wavelength electromagnetic radiationphotons) to penetrate various materials. (high energy)
Either an X-ray machine or a radioactive source (Ir-192, Co-60, or in rare cases Cs-137) can be used as a source of [...]

Liquid Penetrant Testing

Posted on 01 July 2008

Principles
DPI is based upon capillary action, where low surface tension fluid penetrates into clean and dry surface-breaking discontinuities. Penetrant may be applied to the test component by dipping, spraying, or brushing. After adequate penetration time has been allowed, the excess penetrant is removed, a developer is applied. The developer helps to draw penetrant out of [...]

What is Non-destructive Testing

Posted on 30 June 2008

What is NDT?
NDT stands for non-destructive testing. In other words it is a way of testing without destroying. In today’s world where new materials are being developed, older materials and bonding methods are being subjected to higher pressures and loads, NDT

Basic Principles of Ultrasonic Testing

Posted on 09 May 2008

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) uses high frequency sound energy to conduct examinations and make measurements. Ultrasonic inspection can be used for flaw [...]

Electromagnetic Testing - (ET)

Posted on 14 March 2008

Eddy current, penetrating radar and other electromagnetic techniques are used to detect or measure flaws, bond or weld integrity, thickness, electrical conductivity, detect the presence of rebar or metals. Eddy current is the most widely applied electromagnetic NDT technique. The eddy current method is also useful in sorting alloys and verifying heat treatment. Eddy current [...]

Distance Amplitude Correction (DAC)

Posted on 04 December 2007

As mentioned previously, as a result of beam spread and attenuation, echo heights observed from equivalent defects decrease with increased distance. Consequently, a technique known as distance amplitude correction (DAC) is commonly employed to adjust signals generated at different distances for comparison purposes. This technique consists of generating a DAC curve that essentially [...]

Neutron Radiography

Posted on 27 November 2007

Neutron radiography provides a very efficient tool for investigations in the field of non - destructive testing as well as for many applications in fundamental research. A neutron beam penetrating a specimen is attenuated by the sample material and detected by a two dimensional imaging device. The image contains information about material and structure [...]

Ultrasonic testing (UT) of cementitious materials

Posted on 29 October 2007

Abstract Based on Biot’s theory of wave propagation in suspensions the utilization of the ultrasound technique for the analysis of the setting and hardening of cementitiousmaterials became very popular over the last years. This is well documented innumerous papers (for instance: SAYERS & DAHLIN [1993], BOUTIN & ARNAUD[1995] or D’ANGELO ET AL. [1996]). The [...]
