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 ensures that materials can continue to operate to their highest capacity with the assurance that they will not fail within predetermined time limits.

There are many NDT techniques employed, depending on four main criteria:

1. Material Type

2. Defect Type

3. Defect Size

4. Defect Location
